NFF PRESIDENT AMINU MAIGARI AND TWO NFF MEMBERS ARRESTED BY SSS

Aminu Maigari alongside the General Secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation( NFF) Musa Amadu and another board member,Chris Green have all been arrested by state security service (SSS)

Early this morning,news emerged that Maigari has resigned as the football body’s president,just a week after he was reinstated.

A statement from the Sports ministry revealed that the tenure of the present NFF board expired after August 25,2014.

The NFF are currently having their congress in Abuja,but it is understood that the congress refused to carry on with their meeting unless the three men are released,and Maigari presides over it.

The Congress is in their meeting is expected to fix a new date for the elections for new officials for the NFF board.

It has been from one episode to the other for the NFF since after the World Cup,with so many crises rocking the football body.

Maigari was initially arrested by the same SSS on arrival from the World Cup tournament in Brazil and later released.

A court injunction last month sacked the NFF executive before it took the threat of a FIFA ban,and several pleas before the order was vacated .

Maigari was impeached by the NFF,yet again FIFA intervened and faulted the process,saying that it was flawed.

It has been a case of ‘one week one trouble’ in the NFF,not mentioning the mysterious fire that razed the headquarters of the NFF last week.
