The ‘unknown’ Super Eagles
goalkeeper, Obi Evans Ngemba may have landed in trouble with his
German club, SV Heimstetten for accepting Nigeria’s invitation
for the friendly against Colombia.
Rather than take delight
in the fact that Ngemba’s call-up has shot their obscure club
into international spotlight, Heimstetten have revealed that
they did not receive any official request from the Nigerian
football authorities regarding the invitation of the goalkeeper.
A top official of the team
was quoted by Brila Fm as saying they only got the
information about the call from Ngemba himself and his
girlfriend.
The official stated
further that Obi was absent from the last training and they
assumed he was on the flight to Cali, Columbia.
The club which has
dissociated themselves from the invitation are angry at response
of Ngemba to an unofficial invitation to the national team and
may sanction him when he returns to base.
Ngemba reportedly joined
Heimstetten on a free transfer from division nine rivals,
Academia Afrika München three months ago.
