Cameroonian legend Samuel Eto’o had arrived Nigeria in style for
Joseph Yobo testimonial game but his attempt to go back in style was
halted.
This follows a report on Linda Ikeji that Eto’o who had arrived in
the country on his private jet, was denied approval to fly out
immediately after the
game.
According to the report, Eto’o who was on the score sheet for Team
World as they went down 5-4 to Team Nigeria, was to fly back immediately
after the game on his private jet, but to no avail.
Airport authority claimed he didn’t have permission to land at the Port Harcourt airport and fined him.
A source said after paying the fine, his plane was still not allowed to fly, up until late last night.
Team Nigeria defeated Team World 5-4, in front of over 10,000
spectators as stars light up the Adokiye Amiesimaka stadium in Port
Harcourt, the Rivers state capital.

Former Everton and Manchester United boss, David Moyes, took charge
of Team World, that boasted stars like Samuel Eto’o, Stephen Appian and
Sulley Muntari.
