34year old ex-Super Eagles star, Sam Sodje is currently been
investigated in a match-fixing scandal in the UK. Sam, who is the
younger brother of footballer Efe sodje, was allegedly caught on tape
telling an undercover reporter with The Sun UK magazine that he was
paid £70,000 to be sent off the field during a championship match
on February 23rd 2013. Footage from the football match showed
Sam Sodje hitting the crotch of Oldham Athletic's player Jose Baxter,
repeatedly for no reason which ultimately earned him a red card. Sam
admitted to the undercover reporter that his actions were all
preplanned for him to be sent off the pitch. He also said it was easy
to get other footballers to do same for a fee. Sam practically ended
his football career by collecting £12,000 from the undercover
reporter, on tape, for other match fixings.
The British Tabloid has reported its investigation to the National Crime
Agency, and NCA said an active investigation is now underway.
