The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, General secretary, Barrister Musa and the Federation’s First Vice President, Chief Mike Umeh were engaged in a public show of shame in Abu Dhabi Friday when they exchanged blows right inside the stadium.

It was gathered that problem ensued early evening when Chief Umeh accused members of League Management Committee of using “ better cars” than NFF chieftains.

It was learnt that he then told a colleague that Musa was incompetent and was not fit to handle NFF matters.

According to source, on getting to the stadium, Chief Umeh was given a Category 1 ticket and again he complained saying that every country was given 20 VIP tickets and wondered why he could not have one as NFF Vice President.


During the final match between Nigeria and Mexico, Chief Umeh became angry again when he saw members of the LMC in the VIP Box and challenged the GS who said he knew nothing about it “Oga two of us are seating here, I don’t know anything about tickets, besides I just arrived yesterday “ the General Secretary replied.

He was shocked when Chief Umeh said “you are a useless man . I have to trek five minutes to ease myself in a competition that belongs to us?”

His statement angered Barrister Ahmadu and he ordered him to withdraw the statement. Instead Chief Umeh repeated it and the General Secretary said he was a “ hopeless man”. As they were sitting together they rose to their feet and went for each other’s jugular saying a lot of unprintable things.

It took some time to get Musa to leave the seat for another one.

A board member has called for a probe of the incidence when they get back home.

“It was shameful to say the least. Chief Umeh did not behave maturely but there is need to find out where all our VIP tickets went to,” he said.
