NFF President Aminu Maigari Arrested

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.
