THE NET CLOSES: Secret Police And Intelligence Agency Open Joint Investigation Into NFF Leadership.

Published

on

Top officials within the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) are facing a high-stakes joint investigation by the Department of State Services (DSS) and the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) over alleged communication with foreign entities that could compromise national security.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to a security source cited by Vanguard, intelligence agencies intercepted alarming messages exchanged between certain federation executives and foreign nationals. Sources clarified that this national security probe is distinct from ongoing financial investigations into a 17 billion Naira federal intervention fund allocated for players’ wages and bonuses—matters typically handled by anti-corruption bodies like the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offenses Commission (ICPC).

The mounting pressure has created severe turmoil within the organization. Up to half of the NFF executive board are reportedly weighing or have tendered resignations amid fears surrounding the intelligence probe. This leadership crisis also casts doubt on the upcoming NFF board election scheduled for September 27 in Lafia, Nasarawa State.

Concurrently, the National Sports Commission (NSC) has reportedly directed the executive committee to step down following public outrage. This discontent stems from unprecedented sporting failures, marked by both the Super Eagles missing out on the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the Super Falcons failing to qualify for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup—representing the first time in history that both senior national teams have suffered simultaneous qualification misses.

‘YOU DON’T EXIST HERE!’ APC Outraged, Dismantles Ogun Aspirant’s Ambition As A Sham.

Published

on

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has reaffirmed Senator Adeola Olamilekan as its official flagbearer for the upcoming Ogun State governorship race, firmly dismissing parallel claims made by Mr. Abayomi Hunye.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

In an official statement released in Abuja, APC National Secretary Senator Ajibola Basiru labeled Hunye as a suspended “imposter” with no legal or moral authority to represent the party. Basiru clarified that the party’s legitimate ticket belongs to Senator Olamilekan and his running mate, Balogun Abiodun, whose credentials have already been officially submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) portal.

According to the national leadership, Hunye’s membership status has been inactive due to a grassroots suspension originating from Tube Ward in Ipokia Local Government Area, which was subsequently endorsed by the Ogun State Working Committee. The party accused Hunye of engaging in anti-party behavior and deliberate attempts to sow discord within its ranks.

Consequently, the APC has cautioned the general public, stakeholders, and political groups against engaging in any political or financial dealings with Hunye under the party’s banner, noting that individuals who do so will act entirely at their own risk. Supporters across the state have been urged to remain calm, orderly, and focused as the political process continues.
