Super Eagles captain, Ahmed Musa, threw the armband on the
pitch, as they held to a 0-0 draw by Cameroon in Tuesday’s international
friendly.
The incident happened with 10 minutes left at the Stadion
Wiener Neustadt.
Gernot Rohr decided to replace Musa with Anaya Iwuala.
Musa took off the armband and instead of handing it over to
Abdullahi Shehu who was two feet away, he threw it on the field and jogged off.
Nigeria headed into the encounter on the back of their 1-0 defeat
to the Indomitable Lions and in an effort to avoid a second consecutive loss,
Gernot Rohr named a strong squad for the encounter.
Rohr’s men play Mexico next in another international friendly
on July 4.
The games have been put together as part of their
preparation for the 2022 World Cup qualifiers against Liberia and Cape Verde
Islands in August and September, respectively.
