Enyeama's decision did not come as a surprise after a major falling out with Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh on Tuesday night following the announcement of CSKA Moscow forward Ahmed Musa as the country's new captain.
Earlier, on Thursday the 33-year-old Lille goalkeeper, who has been Nigeria skipper since Joseph Yobo quit international football last year, vowed "not to walk out on Nigeria".
But later Thursday, Enyeama announced via Instagram he has quit the country's team.
"I have fought a good fight for more than 13 years. I have finished my course, I have kept the faith and sang the anthem with passion," he wrote.
"Henceforth, there is laid for me a crown which only God can reward me for my 13 years of national service.
"God bless NIGERIA. From HENCEFORTH, I am no more the captain of the NIGERIAN senior football team, I am no more the goalie of the team, I am out of the team. Sports 24
