10 players has been sent home from the Nigerian U-23 football team, including Federation Cup star, Emem Eduok.
Coach Samson Siasia is determined to have no "age frauds" in his team as he prepares for the Rio 2016 Olympics.
Ediok, who made history after scoring the first goal at the newly commissioned Akwa Ibom Stadium in Uyo is credited with two different birth dates, both of which put him in the desired age bracket.
Timi Ebikagboro, the media officer for the Nigerian U-23 confirmed the dropping of Eduok and also revealed that Coach Siasia has declared only players born after January 1, 1993 will be eligible to report to camp, which has already witnessed over 1,000 interested players.
