Nigerian defender, Sam Sodje and his younger brother, Akpo have been released on bail.
.
The brothers are among six people arrested following new spot-fixing allegations in football.
.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) is examining evidence provided by authoritative British newspaper, Sun on Sunday, that filmed former Portsmouth defender Sam claiming he received £70,000 for getting himself sent off in a League One fixture last season.
.
Four other men fingered in the scandal have been released on bail while Tranmere defender, Ian Goodison, remains in custody.
.
The news has sent shock waves across the football world with the Professional Footballers Association in England declaring that: "These allegations, if proven, unfortunately demonstrate the real issue football faces in terms of corruption and highlights the necessity of the work carried out by the PFA and other stakeholders in the game in educating players of these risks.
.
"We take the issue of integrity very seriously and will continue in our efforts to eradicate this evil from our game," the statement released by the body read. Sam, whose older brother, Efe, represented Nigeria at the 2002 Fifa World Cup, was capped four times by Nigeria.
.
Akpo has never represented Nigeria at international level.
This is a stain on our country Nigeria but the problem is there are still doubts whether its true or not
