The duel brewing between disengaged coash Stephen Keshi and the Nigeria Football Federation is gathering more steam as the NFF has threatened to expose the former coach if he proceeds with his legal suit.

Former Super Eagles head coach, Stephen Keshi

The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, Disciplinary Committee has warned former Super Eagles head coach, Stephen Keshi to withdraw the legal action he instituted against the federation or be ready for monumental disgrace.

The Glass House stated that the federation has incriminating evidences to floor him in court.

Reacting to the next line of action for the NFF, the Deputy Chairman of the Committee, Barrister Iyke Igbokwe stated that Keshi’s advisers only want to extort money from him, stressing that he would resign as a lawyer if Keshi wins the case in court.

While insisting that Keshi would have sued the Cote d’Ivoire football federation for shortlisting wrongly or rightly among the 29 applicants for the then vacant job, Igbokwe said they have overwhelming evidence to win Keshi in court.

Igbokwe said: “We will meet Keshi in court.”

“The Disciplinary Committee was very meticulous in handling the case. I can conveniently tell you that Keshi breached almost five to six clauses in his contract.

“Don’t forget that we intercepted his proceedings because we want to give him the opportunity to tackle the Ivorien FA for including his name among the applicants for the job and for us to travel to Cote d’Ivoire to confirm first hand if he actually applied for the job.

“But after the two weeks period, Keshi did not query the Ivoriens and of course, our Chairman, Barrister Green that went to Cote d’Ivoire, brought evidences, where Keshi along with other applicants were published.”
