Cameroonian
legend Samuel Eto’o had arrived Nigeria in style for Joseph Yobo
testimonial game but his attempt to go back in style was halted. Eto’o
who had arrived in the country on his private jet, was denied approval
to fly out immediately after the game. According to the report, Eto’o
who was on the score sheet for Team World as they went down 5-4 to Team
Nigeria, was to fly back immediately after the game on his private jet,
but to no avail.
The
Airport authority claimed he didn’t have permission to land at the Port
Harcourt airport and fined him.
A source said after paying the fine,
his plane was still not allowed to fly, up until late last night. Team
Nigeria defeated Team World 5-4, in front of over 10,000 spectators as
stars light up the Adokiye Amiesimaka stadium in Port Harcourt, the
Rivers state capital. Emmanuel Emenike scored a hat-trick for Team
Nigeria, which had the mercurial Austin Jay Jay Okocha pulling the
strings. Former Everton and Manchester United boss, David Moyes, took
charge of Team World, that boasted stars like Samuel Eto’o, Stephen
Appian and Sulley Muntari.
