The defender departed Bavaria a day after signing a three- year contract with the second-tier club to link up with the Olympic Team in Atlanta, United States.
“Greuther Fürth has released Obanor to the Nigeria Football Federation and paid for his flight ticket from Germany to U.S,” a team official told allnigeriasoccer.com.
“The club officials have asked him to return immediately to Germany if he does not make the final squad or whenever Nigeria’s participation at the Olympics ends.”
Obanor, 20, made Nigeria’s roster for the 2014 African Nations Championship held in South Africa.
