Former Super Eagles head coach, Stephen Keshi, is set to drag the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to court, for “wrongful dismissal and defamation”.

Keshi was sacked by NFF on July 5, after a disciplinary committee found him guilty of applying for another job in Ivory Coast, an allegation he denied.

The NFF has been formally notified of Keshi's impending
legal tussle through a Kaduna-based law firm.

“Keshi’s lawyers have written the NFF threatening to sue for wrongful dismissal and defamation of character,” a source informed AfricanFootball.com
