Operatives of the State Security Service
on Tuesday in Abuja, arrested the President of the Nigeria Football
Federation, Aminu Maigari, and halted the federation’s scheduled
meeting.
Also arrested was the NFF Secretary-General, Musa Amadu, and a board member, Chris Green.
The NFF president was initially arrested in July as he returned from the World Cup in Brazil, following a court order.
Maigari’s removal as the NFF president
led to the suspension of Nigeria by the Federation of International
Football Associations.
The suspension was lifted after Maigari
was reinstated but he was later impeached by other board members on
allegations of corruption. He returned to office after it was ruled that
the rules were not followed in the purported impeachment.
