Super Falcons defender Ashleigh Plumptre has denied a claim alleging she was dropped from Nigeria’s squad for the upcoming Women’s Africa Cup of Nations after refusing to comply with certain demands from football officials
The statement, which surfaced on a verified Facebook account bearing her name, alleged that she was excluded from the national team by “corrupt officials” after declining to meet inappropriate conditions for selection.

She wrote: “This Facebook account is still causing problems … Please report. Crazy how it’s verified.”
She also addressed the issue on her verified X account, simply stating: “Not at all true…”
