Showdown between the management of Raybow Hotel in Tarkoradi and officials of Nigeria Football Association over non-payment of hotel bills for extra people is looming.
The Nigerians’ list exceeded the mandated list of 23 players and seven officials from each participating country, but they failed to pay the difference after promising to do so.
Hotel officials were expected to throw out the Nigerians last night after they reneged on their part of the contract.
The management told the Daily Graphic that the Nigerians had anticipated their elimination from the competition and had planned to sneak out after the final group match against Benin, but after their surprise qualification, the ‘excess’ officials are now in a dilemma.
A source told the Daily Graphic a Nigerian minister had phoned the management of the hotel pledging to pay the bills.
The team, runners-up in Group B after Cote d’Ivoire, are expected in Accra later today to prepare for their quarter-final clash against Ghana.
