F’Eagles Coach Disowns Fraudulent Facebook Account
Flying Eagles Coach
Manu Garba has disowned a Facebook account, which carries his names and the imposter has allegedly been duping unsuspecting players and teams.
“My attention has been drawn to stories that I have defrauded players and teams through Facebook by demanding cash from them before they are picked by me,” stated Manu.
“To begin with, I do not have never met those people who are now coming up with these stories.
“It was also most unprofessional of the media not to double check such a story with me even when I have always left an open door to the media first when I was a player and now as a coach.”
Manu further said he has lived above board with merit being the man yardstick for the selection of his players.
“I know there are many interests when it comes to player selection, but I can beat my chest and say I have always picked players who deserve to be on the team.
“This was why we won in style the U17 World Cup in United Arab Emirates in 2013 and then the African Youth Championship this year in Senegal.
“Nobody made those allegations then and so when such things are coming through now, you can clearly see that some people are malicious and just wish to draw undue attention to themselves and nothing more.”
