CAF Suspends Nigerian Referee For 1 Year by LukeLook: 4:01pm On Apr 30, 2018
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has banned Nigerian referee, Joseph Ogabor for allegedly attempting to bribe the match officials that handled the Confederation Cup game between Plateau United and Algeria’s USM Algers.
The CAF Referees Committee confirmed the decision to relieve the official of his duty for a year after confirming a recommendation from the body’s Disciplinary Board.

“The CAF Referees Committee on 28 April 2018, has confirmed the recommendation of the CAF Disciplinary Board to ban Nigeria referee Joseph Ogabor from any official mission for one year for attempted match manipulation with respect to the Total CAF Confederation Cup 1/16th round first leg between Plateau United (Nigeria) and USM Alger (Algeria) played on 7 April 2018 in Lagos. The decision follows investigations conducted and evidence submitted by the South African match officials of the said match, who were contacted by Ogabor to provide “technical assistance” to the Nigerian team.”
