Nigeria Super Eagles assistant coach, Imama Amapakabo has been detained by police in Abuja for allegedly being in possession of a car belonging to Enugu Rangers and other properties several months after he was sacked by Nigerian Proffesional League club.
This was confirmed by the Rangers CEO, Christian Chukwu who said police acted on the request of Rangers to recover Enugu State government properties still being held by the coach.
“It is three months now since Imama left Rangers after he was relieved of his managerial role,” Chukwu said in an interview with Sport Brila FM.
“He left with the club’s official car and the keys to his official accommodation.
“We have written to him three times to return the vehicle and house keys, but he has refused to comply.
“Right now our chief coach does not have an official car.
“The owner of the house has been asking us to come and remove our things and surrender the keys.
“But we cannot do that in the absence of Imama who owns the items in the house” the Rangers CEO stated.
The arrest will affect the former youth international who is involved with the CHAN Eagles who are set to begin preparation ahead of their crunch CHAN qualifying match.
