 Lagos - A former Nigerian teammate, Victor Ikpeba has laid to rest the speculation that some members of the USA 94 World Cup squad ganged up against Rashidi Yekini, SuperSport reports.

Yekini passed away last Friday in his hometown, Ira in Iyun local government, Kwara State and was buried on Saturday.

But Ikpeba, speaking on SuperSport's football magazine show, Monday Night Football, cleared the air that he never perceived any form of hatred from some team members of the Super Eagles' set of 1994 towards Yekini.

The former AS Monaco striker went on to explain that the competition for places in the Super Eagles may have been misconstrued by outsiders to mean on-field envy for the late Nigerian striker.
