» ''My Life Is In Danger'' - Sunday Oliseh Cries Out «

The Super Eagles to the CHAN 2016 in Rwanda returned to
Nigeria last night but without the team’s helmsman
Sunday Oliseh who returned to his base in Belgium.
His decision not to return home according to the Nigeria
Football Federation, (NFF) is to enable him continue with
treatment for the flu he has been battling with since last
year.
However Oliseh’s decision not to return with the team is
beginning to raise questions on why he is afraid of home.
Very dependable sources informed Daily Sunsport that the
former Super Eagles defender and captain confessed that
he is afraid for his life. Our source hinted that Oliseh had
confided in a close associate that some people are after
his life in Nigeria and is beginning to think twice about his
health.
“Oliseh no longer feels safe being in Nigeria. Recall that all
through the team’s camping for CHAN 2016 in Abuja, he
refused to show up but was the first to hit South Africa for
the second phase of camping in Pretoria. After his team
lost out of CHAN, he left for Belgium on the excuse that he
had to go and continue treatment for his flu. That action
speaks volumes about his fears.”
Reacting to the allegation that Oliseh’s life is in danger,
NFF spokeman, Ademola Olajire said there is no truth
about the rumour.
“Did Oliseh not grow up here in Nigeria, so why would he be
afraid of anyone in Nigeria? Agreed that Nigerians are very
passionate about football and would castigate any coach
that does not produce results but that is not enough for
anyone to insinuate that his life is in danger. The reason
for his travelling back to Belgium is to continue with his
treatment for the flu,” Olajire stated.
It is recalled that coach Sunday Oliseh was flown out to
Belgium to see his personal physician as a result of his
deteriorating health condition on October 25, 2015.
A close source to the coach at that time was quoted as
saying: “As I speak with you now Oliseh has left the Port
Harcourt camp of the Super Eagles and has been hurriedly
flown to Belgium via Lufthansa. Oliseh’s health condition
has really worsened.
“I have never seen Oliseh in this very worrisome health
situation like this since about three decades that I have
been close to him. I am praying fervently to Almighty God
to save him and give him speedy recovery.”
