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