There was a squabble between Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh and goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama on Tuesday, October 5, 2015 at the Belgium camp of the Eagles.
The players are currently preparing for international friendlies against DR Congo and Cameroon in the coming days.
Vincent Enyeama who recently buried his mum had arrived camp on Tuesday but Oliseh asked him to leave. Things got a bit messy and the Super Eagles coach had to call the security details to eject the Lille FC goalkeeper out of the team’s hotel.
A Nigerian football researcher, Muyiwa Lawal took to Twitter where he explained what went down at the Eagles camp.

Oliseh is wrong the way he kicked Enyama out. They were looking to punish him for not playing last game. Enyeama deserves more respect (2)

Enyeama rose to apologise for coming late/ wantd to give his reason but was told to shutUp & leave. Enyama didnt comply, security was called

The Nigerian Football Federation officials tried to wade into the matter and persuade the goalkeeper who has unofficially been stripped off his captaincy to stay with the team.
Happening now: Vincent Enyeama currently being persuaded to remain with Super Eagles. #WontBeEasy

Clarification: Oliseh first sacked Enyeama before making Musa his captain. The issue was "NOT" over captaincy but over Enyeama's lateness.
