THE Nigeria Police Force took over the Nigerian Football
Federation headquarter in Abuja on Monday as the leadership crisis took a new
twist .
Goal learnt that security operatives sealed off the
nation's footballing secretariat barring staff of the NFF from accessing the
complex which also houses the Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC.
This is the second time in space of two years the police
will be taking over the NFF building.
A Federal High Court ruling last Friday in Jos dismissed
election that brought Amaju Pinnick led board into power and ordered that Chris
Giwa to assume office immediately.
Giwa's faction announced the appointment of a new acting
General Secretary and heads of departments alongside new heads of standing
committees.
While Pinnick's group claimed they have appealed against
the ruling and were granted the stay of execution against their removal from
office.
The court however, announced May 30, 2016 for next
hearing of the relisted suit between Giwa's board, the NFF and sports minister.
Though some NFF staff were later allowed into the
secretariat premises on proper identification with no official granted entry
aside the general secretary Sanusi Mohammed.
