Nigeria’s top football coach, Salisu Yusuf, has been caught on camera taking cash from men posing as football agents.
The footage was captured by controversial journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas during the Wafu Cup of Nations tournament in Ghana in September 2017 – and is being broadcast for the first time by BBC Africa Eye.
He took $1,000 with a promise to include some two players in his final squad for the 2018 Chan in Morocco.
Salisu Yusif was promised a 15% cut should the said players go ahead to win contracts after featuring at the Chan for Nigeria.
The chief coach of the Super Eagles, and first assistant during the World Cup, is due to lead the national team to the Olympics in 2020.
