Dalung sends 2 players, officials back to Nigeria

U-23 team tell him to stay away from them
Minister of Sports, Solomon Dalung, has sent Stanley Dimgba , Yusuf Mohammed and the team’s media officer, Timi Ebikagboro, curator and the team coordinator, packing from the Rio Olympics, just as the U-23 Olympic team have told him they don’t want to see him in their camp. .
.
Specifically, they insisted that they don’t want Dalung and his delegation anywhere near their dressing room before and during the match to avoid unnecessary distractions ahead of their match against Germany.

Dalung had said 4 unaccredited and unofficial players and officials had been with the team since they left Atlanta for Brazil. He complained of the huge financial burden of taking care of them after they’re recently prevented from leaving the hotel over the unpaid bills of the 8.

He said: “The International Olympic Committee, are only responsible for 25 accredited players and officials including feeding, flights and accommodation. We have been carrying the rest along. In Manaus, we were forced to pay camp allowances to the extra 4 players making 29.”

Despite the apology by Dalung for the way his ministry treated the team during their training tour of Atlanta, USA, the players insisted that it was difficult for them to forget the scandalous scenario.
