Aminu Maigari alongside the General Secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation( NFF) Musa Amadu and another board member,Chris Green have all been arrested by state security service(SSS)

Early this morning,news emerged that Maigari has resigned as the football body's president,just a week after he was reinstated.

A statement from the Sports ministry revealed that the tenure of the present NFF board expired after August 25,2014.

The NFF are currently having their congress in Abuja,but it is understood that the congress refused to carry on with their meeting unless the three men are released,and Maigari presides over it.

The Congress is in their meeting is expected to fix a new date for the elections for new officials for the NFF board.

It has been from one episode to the other for the NFF since after the World Cup,with so many crises rocking the football body.

Maigari was initially arrested by the same SSS on arrival from the World Cup tournament in Brazil and later released.

A court injunction last month sacked the NFF executive before it took the threat of a FIFA ban,and several pleas before the order was vacated .

Maigari was impeached by the NFF,yet again FIFA intervened and faulted the process,saying that it was flawed.

It has been a case of 'one week one trouble' in the NFF,not mentioning the mysterious fire that razed the headquarters of the NFF last week.

Pro-Maigari State FA chairmen who went to demand Maigari's release at SSS HQ also arrested

Even the devil will be tired of the problems rocking the football house.

FG needs to leave football matters and concentrate on Bokoharam.Until this is done,there is no ending to all these problems.

ok my Boss .

where have you been since?

Lmao!

Am sure Magari's Opponent are behind his arrest...You don't need a rocket science to know that..

Just imagining how elated his opponents will be feeling now hearing this

Ok

What comedy... Dis sss are relentless oh. Well now all evidence has been burnt I wonder what evidence they will have against him

when an underdeveloped country invests so
much in sports and entertainment when there
are so many pressing issues that needs finance.
people like Maigari will take such a country as
unserious and loot that money since they don't
know how to spend.
over some years now, the nigerian Federal
Government has been owing retired Nitel staffs
their pensions. A good government should Let
the general well being of the people come first
before entertainment. Badluck administration
has conviencingly proven itself to be an ally of
corruption, come 2015 we shall vote him out.

it is obvious FG and SSS don't know their Priorities they should forget about NFF and concentrate on how to put an end to BH and corruption and move this country forward instead they are more interested in football issues Smh

The SSS is more interested in football and PDP matters than in tracking down boko fighters. Its shameful

Lulu and taiwo Ogunjobi also suffered the same fate..... Am sure whoever succeeds maigari will still suffer the same fate... Nigerians always using NFF presidents as scapegoats after every super chickens monumental failures

Gangsters in power.
Anywhere with the dollars sign is sure to attract these sets of gangsters.
We all know that the NFF is always in one controversy all the other but, never have I seen the government 's hand so openly involved in a crisis as this one.
What exactly is the business of the SSS in this one?

nice move by the sss. But whc day wil 9ja be corruption free? Well tats question 4 d gods tho!

I knew it will come to ds...........though I am not suprised,this is nigeria where they play politics with every single thing including heatlh and education.............

Corrupt niccurs.

Yes! Another national exclusive

Pls watchout for the season 2 of this movie.

Good

Nice move...setting fire to the NFF office to cover tracks won't save this thief.

duni04: The SSS is more interested in football and PDP matters than in tracking down boko fighters. Its shameful

Bros don't go there, at all.
Football is the only thing the brings us together in this country. I can bet that their arrest is not unrelated to the unfortunate fire incident.
JUST DON'T JOKE WITH OUR FUTUBOL
