As the story goes, the actor, who received a chieftaincy title in Egbonike, Anambra State and was recently made a Sports Ambassador for the newly launch project ‘RYTHM and PLAY’, is allegedly in a serious scandal, but this time, not in Nollywood nor power struggle, but a scam act that involves footballers.

Emeka said the main reason why he decided to host the tournament
was to help young talented footballers discover their talents, and
thereby reduce crime rate in Nigeria. He also revealed that Tottenham
and Togolese striker, Emmanuel Adebayo, has agreed to assist some stars
to be identified at the football tournament, adding that some major
clubs in Europe are also sending scouts to the tournament.
On the posters in the streets of Lagos, it was included that Kanu Nwankwo and the Minister of Youth and Sport, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi will be their special guests of honor.
Each participating team was reportedly asked to pay the sum of N3000 for registration and 16 teams participated.
Emeka Ike reportedly promised that he was going to reward the winner with the sum of N500,000 naira, the first runner up with N100, 000, and the 3rd place winner will get N75, 000.;

Aside the popular musician, Daddy Showkey, who came to rack up the
excitement of the tournament with his presence, no other public figure
was reportedly present. Six months after the tournament, we gathered
that none of the winning team has redeemed their winning. As you read
this, Emeka was alleged to have totally ignored frequent calls or test
messages sent to him, after he allegedly issued a bank cheque to the
guys.
When contacted, Emeka Ike declined to speak with us on the story. However, his manager, who later spoke to us, said there is no iota of truth in the story.
According to Emeka's manager, the actor staged a competition that was aimed to make the society a better place, which turned out to be a success and glamorous.
On the allegation that known public figures were not at the event, the manager said it is not true as reported. He said apart from Daddy Showkey, other top personalities too many to mention attended the occasion.
