Sports Vanguard can reveal authoritatively that the sex scandal that hit the Eagles camp on Friday, happened before the noses of their officials who had placed strict restrictions on visitors to their Kuriat Palace Hotel in Monastir, Tunisia.
Unknown to the officials, the three players in Celestine Babayaro of Chelsea, Yakubu Ayegbeni of Portsmouth and Victor Agali of Schalke 04 had arranged with three girls (one German and two British nationals) to check into the same hotel but on the third floor since the entire Nigerian team uses the fourth floor of the five star hotel.
They would sneak out of their rooms to the ladies room. Our reliable source told us that the Hotel security personnel had been monitoring the movement of the girls and those of the players who they used to see at late hours entering Room 343 where the girls lodged.
Luck, however, ran out of them last night when they sneaked into the room and the vigilant security officials alerted the officials of the Eagles who instantly went to the rooms of the players and found them missing.
With the help of the security of the hotel, the Eagles officials entered Room 343 where they found them rollicking.
“There is nothing like are you sure? We found them and they could not deny it”, one of the stunned officials informed Weekend Vanguard. Thereafter, the Hotel security took the ladies and questioned them and they were said to have confessed that the three players lodged them in the hotel. It was then that the NFA went into action, met and passed the information to the Minister.
“We agreed and the players have been decamped”, FA boss Ibrahim Galadima said. Weekend Vanguard gathered that the other players were equally shocked but begged the NFA to temper justice with mercy.
Against the Bafana Bafana, coach Christian Chukwu said that he would introduce Ifeanyi Ekwueme and Garba Lawal to take over the position of Babayaro and Agali. The case of Yakubu Ayegbeni was even worse as he was a shadow of himself during the match against Morocco and many Nigerians are saying that the girls may have sapped their stamina before the first match.
These players should be sent home. They have no business being there. It has gone from the sublime to the ridiculous.
