The Super Eagles' Coach, Sunday Oliseh, has dropped Vincent Enyeama as captain of the team.
In Enyeama's stead, Oliseh has named CSKA Moscow forward, Ahmed Musa, as the skipper of the team.
The Super Eagles camp in Belgium was torn into shreds following squabbles between Oliseh and Enyeama ahead of Thursday's friendly against Congo.
The arrival of the Lille goalkeeper and captain of the Eagles in Belgium, which ordinarily should bring cheers to the camp, instead turned the camp into a war zone following allegations of anti-camp activities against the captain.
Enyeama arrived at the Nigeria camp on Tuesday, one day after Monday's deadline, after attending his mother's funeral over the weekend in his home town.
According to reports, Oliseh was unhappy about his captain's late arrival and demoted him at a team meeting after dinner, naming CSKA Moscow forward Ahmed Musa as the new captain.
In fact, Oliseh was said to have asked Enyeama to leave camp.
It took the intervention of officials of the Nigeria Football Federation for Oliseh to allow Enyeama stay on in camp.
Meanwhile, Vincent Enyeama took to his Instagram page to confirm yesterday's reports that he was thrown out of the Eagles camp by security.
He wrote;
"After 13years of national service, having this smiles on my face and this passion in my heart. through the billows, the waves of the ocean, the tears of defeat, the sound of rejoicing from victory chants. now the thought of being Str!pped Nak3d and security agents throwing me out breaks me completely. i will take anything but not insult to my dead mother."
"I was surprised, so I stood up to explain my position and ask for an explanation, but the coach asked me to sit down. I insisted on speaking because I felt that with the years of dedicated service I have given to the country I deserve at least the respect of giving my own side. But he told me that either the whole team would leave the room for me, or I would have to leave the room for the whole team. There has been a lot of incidents these last few months. I don't need it, the team does not need it, so maybe the best thing might be to step aside in the interest of the country so that the team can focus on football instead of distractions." Enyeama wrote.
