Sacked Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi has demanded a
compensation of a billion Naira (more than $400 million) from the Nigeria
Football Federation (NFF) for defaming him.
A top source told said “Keshi’s lawyers have demanded for a billion Naira from
the NFF as compensation for defaming their client.”Last week, it was reported
that Keshi had dragged the NFF to court for “wrongful dismissal and
defamation”.
The letter from the Kaduna-based law firm was received by the
NFF on Friday.
Keshi was sacked by the NFF on July 5
after the NFF disciplinary committee investigated various allegations against
him.
This was four months after the
53-year-old coach signed a new two-year contract after his initial three-year
deal with the NFF ran out at last year’s World Cup in Brazil.
