Agent: EMENIKE Has Nothing To Hide

Turkish newspaper <i>Hurriyet</i> says prosecutors want Emmanuel Emenike jailed for between one to three years for his role in the match - fixing scandal during his spell with Karab&uuml;kspor.<br /><br />It would be recalled that Emenike refused to play the game against Fenerbah&ccedil;e on May 8, 2011, citing injury, but club doctors said he could have honored the match if he had taken injections.<br /><br />Few weeks after the incident, the 25 - year - old Super Eagle signed a contract with The Yellow Canaries, fueling speculations that he had reached an accord with the Fenerbah&ccedil;e hierarchy to miss the vital game.<br /><br />''The doctor who oversaw me at the hospital said there was no way I could play. Then I contacted the Nigerian national football team coach, and he told me that playing with an injection could threaten my career,'' he was quoted as saying by Hurriyet.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Emenike's agent, <span style="">Erdem Konyar, </span>has stated that the career of the Nigeria international at Spartak Moscow is not at risk, as he has nothing to hide from the Turkish courts.<br /><br />''Emenike is in Moscow and trained with the team. His career in Spartak is not threatened. We do not worry about a new trial on match-fixing. Emmanuel did not break any rule, so afraid of nothing. I will say more: he has nothing to hide, he always did his job honestly,'' Koyar told <span style=""><a href="http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&amp;ei=XBK1UKDRM8mnhAeR5oGQAQ&amp;hl=en&amp;prev=/search%3Fq%3Dchampionat.com/football%26hl%3Den%26tbo%3Dd%26biw%3D939%26bih%3D548&amp;rurl=translate.google.com.ng&amp;sl=ru&amp;twu=1&amp;u=http://izvestia.ru/feedback&amp;usg=ALkJrhg-bW5LYcOJMulHFjH3l_rSbiQBjg">The News Russia.</a><span></span></span><br /><br />This is not the first time Emenike is involved in a court case.
