RED CARD MADNESS:

CAF axe Onazi for two matches

Super Eagles combative midfielder, Ogenyi Onazi has been axed from Nigeria's next two 2017 AFCON qualifying games by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).

This is owing to the straight red card he earned in the Eagles 2-0 victory against Chad in Kaduna.

In a circular sent to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) from the CAF Secretariat stated that for the “violent conduct, player No.17 Eddy Ogenyi Onazi was expelled and he is automatically suspended for the next 2 official matches: 39 – Tanzania Vs Nigeria and 66: Nigeria Vs Egypt.”

Recall, the S.S Lazio of Italy midfielder had attacked his Chadian opponent on the pitch after an ugly incident; however he was quick to make an apology over his 'madness'.
