Super Eagles Amas Obasogie has rejected accusations of misconduct after his Tanzanian club, Singida Black Stars SC, suspended him from football activities for three months pending investigation into allegations of match-fixing on Friday.

Shortly after the suspension, Obasogie, in a statement, fiercely denied any involvement in match-fixing. He stated that the incidents from the matches against Flambeau du Centre and Namungo FC under review by Singida, were solely footballing errors without malicious intent.

“I, Amas Obasogie, respectfully address the management, coaching staff, players, supporters, members of the oress, and the entire football community regarding the allegation of match fixing that led to my temporary suspension by Singida Black Stars SC. I state clearly and unequivocally that I have never engaged in match fixing and will never do so.

“The goals conceded in the CAF Confederation Cup match against Flambeau du Centre and the NBC Premier League fixture against Namungo FC were the result of footballing errors, not deliberate misconduct. I accept full responsibility for my performance; however, mistakes on the field must not be mistaken for match manipulation,” Obasogie said.

Speaking further, the 26-year-old maintained that he was fully aware of the consequences of manipulating the outcome of a football match as a member of the Super Eagles squad.

He added that he was willing to appear before any disciplinary panel to clear himself as his career was on the line.

“As a national team goalkeeper representing the great nation of Nigeria, I fully understand the severe consequences of match fixing. My integrity, reputation, and career are invaluable to me. I have sworn never to bring the game of football, my club, or my country into disrepute. I am ready and willing to appear before any disciplinary committee to defend myself and clear my name,” Obasogie stated.

He stated that his errors in the matches being reviewed should not be translated into allegations that question his character. He said, “I remain loyal, disciplined, and determined to continue serving Singida Black Stars SC with honour and professionalism.”
