Azerbaijan side Shahdagh
Qusar FK thought they had signed 23-year-old Victor Emenayo this summer but
after playing his debut, the club have accused him of lying and holding a fake
passport.
Nigerian footballer, Victor
Emenayo has had to defend himself after his club accused him of being at least
17 years older than his actual age.
Victor Emenayo claims he
hasn’t lied about his age and is 23-years-old. His club believe his passport
may be fake.
Despite his passport
claiming he was born in 1993, the club believe they have been duped and that he
is at least 40-years-old – possibly older. But Emenayo has slammed the
suggestions saying he is not a cheat.
Speaking to website New
Fanzone Blog, he said: “How can anybody claim or ascertain that I am not
23-years-old merely by my looks.
Some news outlets claim
that Emenayo may suffer from Lorde Disease – an illness that makes people look
older than they actually are. But Emenayo made no mention of this in his
interview.
It is not the first time
Nigerian footballers have been accused of lying about their age. Last month a
staggering 26 Under-17 players failed an age test ahead of their African
Nations’ Cup qualifier.
