Former Nigeria international midfielder Raheem Lawal has taken a swipe at Daniel Amokachi claiming the former Super Eagles assistant coach made late head coach Stephen Keshi to axe him from the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations team.
Lawal made the claim in a series of post on social media accusing Amokachi of convincing Keshi to drop him because of personal interest as he has players in the team that he wants to trade using the tournament as a platform.
In all he said he prayed for God to bless the soul of Stephen Keshi but has nothing but harsh words for Amokachi who now works as a special adviser to the president of Nigeria Muhammadu Buhari.
Nigeria went ahead to win the tournament in South Africa but Lawal who was among the last set of players to be dropped from the team said he was unfairly treated due to the fact that he had no one to stand for him.
In the post he also alleged that the list was called thrice on the day the squad was named as Amokachi wanted to be sure he is not included. He said it still hurts till date as he was denied the chance of picking up a national honor (MON).
