The sacked Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi, has demanded a compensation of a billion Naira (more than $400 million) from the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, for wrongful dismissal and defamation of character.
Keshi was sacked by the NFF on July 5 after the NFF disciplinary committee investigated various allegations brought against him.
AfricanFootball.com last week exclusively reported that the football gaffer has dragged the NFF to court for “wrongful dismissal and defamation”.
According to AfricanFootball.com a top source privy to the development revealed: “Keshi’s lawyers have demanded for a billion Naira from the NFF as compensation for defaming their client.”
The letter from the Kaduna-based law firm was received by the NFF on Friday,July 24.
