Get Guardian on GoogleSuper Eagles goalkeeper Amas Obasogie has denied match fixing allegations, describing it as baseless and ‘hurt’ to his reputation.
Obasogie was temporarily suspended by Singida Black Stars SC of Tanzania after goals conceded in a CAF Confederation Cup match against Flambeau du Centre and a league game against Namungo FC.
Obasogie, who has played for the Super Eagles, accepted responsibility for his performance, but insisted the mistakes were genuine errors, not deliberate.
“I understand match fixing is serious, and I had never risk my reputation, career, or integrity,” he said.
He added that he is ready to defend himself before a disciplinary committee and clear his name.
Despite the suspension, Obasogie pledged loyalty to Singida Black Stars SC, saying the club means a lot to him.
“I am committed to serving the club with honour and contributing to its success,” he said, urging stakeholders not to confuse mistakes with match-fixing allegations.
