Former Super Eagles of Nigeria defender and Macclesfield assistant manager, Efe Sodje, has been reportedly accused of insulting the girlfriend of one of his players, Cara Cofie in a manner considered as sexually abusive.
According to reports, the striker, whose girlfriend was insulted, Malachi Lavelle Moore accused Sodje of approaching his partner while he was warming up on the pitch ahead of a 1-1 draw at Nuneaton in November 2014, allegedly telling his girlfriend that Malachi was not picked due to a lack of aggression.
With Malachi considering quitting football as a result of the feud, reports indicate that Sodje, known as the Bandana-wearing World Cup 2002 Super Eagles player, has been suspended for just over a week over the incident.
Aside representing Nigeria at the 2000 African Cup of Nations and the 2002 World Cup, Sodje turned for clubs including Conference National, Macclesfield Town, Stevenage Borough, Luton Town, Colchester United, Crewe Alexandra, Huddersfield Town, Yeovil Town, Southend United, Gillingham, Bury and Barr.
