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.

“It was amazing. It kind of capped off the really good start that we had… I’m buzzing to get the goal to get us underway. I’m happy it left us getting three points.”

CLEANING HOUSE: Tinubu Orders Immediate Scrub Of ‘Corrupt’ Appointees from APC Campaign Roster.

Here is a professional and polished rephrasing of the text:
Overview of the APC Campaign Council Review
President Bola Tinubu has ordered a comprehensive review of the newly constituted All Progressives Congress (APC) 2027 Presidential Campaign Council following public criticism over anomalies in its initial lineup.
-
Core Leadership: The council is chaired by President Tinubu, with Vice President Kashim Shettima and APC National Chairman Professor Nentawe Yilwatda serving as Vice Chairmen I and II, respectively.
-
Key Appointments: Former Zamfara State Governor Senator Abdulaziz Yari serves as the Director-General, while Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma acts as the Secretary.
Reasons for the Review
According to presidency and party sources, the initial roster faced immediate backlash from political stakeholders who argued that the lineup contained individuals of questionable character. Major defects identified in the draft list include:
-
The inclusion of individuals facing ongoing corruption allegations.
-
The exclusion of experienced party members who could add strategic value.
-
Omissions resulting from administrative oversights and human error.
Structure to Remain Intact
While the broader membership list undergoes fine-tuning—which has consequently delayed the official inauguration date—insiders confirm that the primary leadership structure will remain untouched. The Director-General and Secretary positions are secure, and adjustments will strictly target the wider membership tier to eliminate controversial names and incorporate valuable stakeholders.
Party insiders noted that such pre-inauguration revisions are common practice, pointing to a similar recall and fine-tuning process utilized during the 2023 election campaign cycle.
