Former Super Eagles player, Daniel Amokachi has said some agents bribe local coaches in order to get playing time for their players.

“Agents always come to give money for their players to be invited to camp. Does it have to be so?” he asked.

“We know this thing has been going on for a while but we have to voice it,” tlhe added.

Amokachi said the practice has been going on for sometime.

He added that all coaches he worked with a in Nigeria had also complained about the practice.

Amokachi worked as an assistant to three former Super Eagles coaches, namely late Stephen Keshi (2011 to 2015), late Shaibu Amodu (2008 to 2010) and Austin Eguavoen (2005 to 2007).

“Every time Amodu would tell me: `Can you imagine these useless agents who are calling me? They want to give me US$10,000, $20,000 and $30,000 to bring their players in.’

“But he’s a man of integrity and wouldn’t take it. I worked with Keshi and it was the same scenario. With Eguavoen, it was the same.

“If these three names mentioned had not had integrity, definitely they would have fallen victim.”

While responding, NFF general secretary, Mohammed Sanusi asked Amokachi to provide proof of his allegations.

“I think it is unfair to make such allegations and not mention the names of those involved,’’ Sanusi said.

“It will be fair if he mentions the names of those who have either approached him or approached some people to give them money. He should also mention people who he knew collected money.

“I think that will be the best way to go about it.

“I have not heard of this issue from any quarter and I can tell you that the NFF will not tolerate this kind of behaviour.

“If Amokachi has evidence of what he has said, he should bring it forward and we will take it up.”
