Former Super Eagles Coach Samson Siasia has expressed shock over his reported ban by FIFA and accused the world soccer ruling body of dishing out punishment without contacting him.

The former U-23 coach in a swift reaction on social media following the news break which went viral within minutes, vowed to fight to clear his name from the ugly dent.

He wondered how a person can be charged and found guilty of an allegation without hearing from the person.

He also dismissed claims by FIFA that a letter to that effect has been dispatched to him, while re-echoing that he has not done anything wrong.

“I am shocked with FIFA Ban, I was never questioned by FIFA.”

“I don’t know anything about this. I did nothing wrong and I have not received any letter from FIFA,” he said
