Stephen Keshi To Take NFF To Court Over Defamation

Former coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria, Stephen Keshi is set to drag the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to court for “wrongful dismissal and defamation.”

The Federation have been served to that effect, threatening to file a lawsuit against them. 

Keshi was sacked after it became evident that he applied for the Ivory Coast ''s coaching job, after Hervey Reward joined a French Ligue 1 side, but the Nigerian believes the matter isn't tenable in the law court. 

“Keshi’s lawyers have written the NFF threatening to sue for wrongful dismissal and defamation of character,” a source informed AfricanFootball.com

“But the truth of the matter is that he does not have a leg to stand on as far as this matter is concerned.

“It’s all laughable and he’s just chasing shadows.”

It was also understood that he was paid his outstanding monies before his sack.

He has since been replaced by Sunday Oliseh.
