Nigeria captain Vincent Enyeama has admitted he was unhappy
with the choice of venue for Saturday’s Africa Cup of Nations
qualifier at home against Chad due to violent unrest in the state.
The two sides are scheduled to square off at the Ahmadu Bello
Stadium in Kaduna this weekend, but Super Eagles goalkeeper
Enyeama feels the players are being put in unnecessary danger.
“I’m not satisfied with the choice of Kaduna and you know I’m a
very outspoken person. I don’t like the choice of Kaduna based on
what is happening in the country but then the government knows
exactly what to do to make us safe,” Enyeama said
“I am concerned because it’s not Kaduna but because of the
security thing. I really don’t care where we play as long as there is
going to be security and safety of the players and everyone coming
to watch the match.”
Enyeama will, however, be hoping Nigeria are able to keep their
focus on the football, with the nation desperate to make up for their
previous shortcomings, having failed to qualify for the 2015 AFCON
finals in Equatorial Guinea.
