The President of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), Aminu
Maigari was arrested today Tuesday 26th August 2014 by the State
Security Service (SSS).
The arrest was ordered to stop the general assembly gathering at the Chida Hotel, Abuja.
He was arrested alongside the NFF Secretary-General Musa Amadu and a board member Chris Green.
According to Sahara Reporters, the arrest is causing a lot of
commotion at the venue of the congress, as those in Maigari’s camp feel
it is an attempt to sideline them in the scheme of things as the
congress aims to chart a way forward for the troubled Nigerian football
body.
The NFF has faced lots of controversy over the past couple of months.
If you recall, Maigari was impeached but at the order of FIFA, he was
reinstated. The headquarter also caught fire recently.
