Flying Eagles coach Manu Garba has disowned a Facebook account,
which carries his names and the impostor 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 a Facebook page and I have directed
my lawyers to take action against the media outfit that published a story alleging
such malicious lies against my person.
“I am not aware of these allegations and 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
main yardstick in his selection of 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.”
