Calling out unnamed officials, she alleged that her exclusion was not being truthfully explained to Nigerians.
“To those corrupt officials responsible for the decisions that led to my exclusion from the super falcons squad, why not tell Nigerians the real Truth?
For weeks, I have remained silent out of respect, professionalism, and love for the game. However, I will not allow false narratives, speculation, and misinformation to continue spreading.”, she said.
“I urge those in charge to stop lying to Nigerians and tell them the real reasons I was excluded from the team. If the truth is not made known, I will have no choice but to share my own side of the story and expose everything that has happened behind closed doors.”, she added.
