Odemwingie should have evidence or shut up—Siasia

Former Super Eagles Head Coach, Samson Siasia has asked Osaze Odemwingie to bring out evidence to back up his false claims of a misdemeanor at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China.

Odemwingie revealed on a program as a guest on the Super Eagles Instagram Live Page during the week that he had issues with Siasia because he didn’t like his leadership style.

He also alleged that some of the issues that were been whispered in camp (about Match-fixing) were responsible for the issues Siasia is challenging at the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) after he was banned for life by FIFA on allegations of match-fixing.

But in his swift reaction to Odemwingie’s claims, Siasia demanded proof of the allegations from the former West Bromwich Albion player or risk receiving court summons from his lawyers.

Siasia replies Odemwingie that he is still alive to answer him.

Former Super Eagles Coach added that Osaze should better show me evidence of his allegations or shut up his mouth. The next letter will come from my lawyer, not me exchanging words with him,
.

Siasia’s reference to being alive to reply Odemwingie is alluding to the inability of Late Stephen Keshi to reply the duo of Chinedu Ogbuke Obasi and Taye Taiwo who accused Super Eagles coaches of corruption prior to Nigeria’s participation at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Odemwingie had alleged during the Instagram chat: “During the Olympic Games in Beijing, there were some rumours among the players because I did not play the qualifiers, that some dodgy things were going on, part of which he (Siasia) is being accused of at the moment.

“I did not know the validity of it but there were talks of match-fixing. For us the players we played out our hearts and deservedly got to the final which everyone saw,” Osaze said.
