Amoo’s case first came to limelight in May when a journalist, Osasu Obayiuwa on his Twitter handle said that the Danish Police had initially brought criminal charges against him in April. It was followed by another in July and then a third in August- all in 2022. Then on September 10, he was arrested but on October 7 of that same year, he was released on bail.

On his Twitter account on Monday, Obayiuwa further revealed that the Denmark-based player has indicated interest to appeal the decision.

Weeks ago, Amoo who had been described as a football genius was in Abuja, Nigeria and trained with the Flying Eagles for the recently concluded FIFA U-20 team but he was not part of the final pick.
