Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Ahmed Musa finally explained how himself, Mikel Obi, Elderson Echiejile and Emmanuel Emenike went to beg former Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh after he collected the armband from Vincent Enyeama in 2015.
Former Super Eagles goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama had issues with Sunday Oliseh five years ago in the Super Eagles which forced the legendary goalkeeper out of the team.
The issues then made Sunday Oliseh to take the captain armband from Vincent Enyeama and gave it to Ahmed Musa in what was a controversial situation.
Musa who played with Vincent Enyeama in two World Cup has now stated exclusively to Legit.ng that Super Eagles players are still missing Enyeama, adding that he and some senior players went to beg Oliseh but their plea fell on deaf ears.
