Reports that Nigerian midfielder Akinkunmi Amoo has been sentenced to prison in Denmark is untrue.

This is according to his elder brother, Sunday Amoo, who attempted to set the records straight, insisting the case against 21-year-old Akinkunmi is far from being concluded.

A section of the media had on Tuesday, reported, A Danish court sentenced the FC Copenhagen player to a year in prison for sexual assault.

“He was not sent to jail, no house arrest or travel ban. He is in his home in Denmark. The case is ongoing in court.” Amoo’s brother offered, per Adepoju Tobi.

Regarding the recent Court ruling as reported, Sunday stressed that, “The judgment was delivered last week Friday, and his lawyer has appealed.

“He can’t make an official statement because of the name ban in the Danish press.

“Unfortunately, this case is blackmail, and we will continue to fight for justice. Akin was not sent to jail.”

The Player’s brother, however, expressed dismay with the media coverage of the situation and “narratives” being spurned.

“It’s sad that the Nigerian media that should support the boy are pushing the wrong narratives.

“They should get an understanding of the judgment before jumping on click bait to tarnish the image of the innocent boy. Akin is innocent and responsible; justice will prevail.”

​

Sunday further added, “We appreciate everyone that has reached out to us. Akin is fine, and he was not sent to jail. He has been injured, and he is just coming back from injury.

“When the court permits, he will release a statement. He is not in prison; he is scheduled to train this morning.” He concluded.
