Policemen storm NFF to arrest Pinnick, others

Security personnel attached to the Presidential Investigative
Panel on Friday invaded the Nigeria Football Federation to effect
the arrest of the NFF President, Amaju Pinnick and four other top
officials.

The Policemen who were armed arrived the NFF glasshouse at about
11am with a warrant of arrest to pick up Amaju, NFF first and
second vice presidents, Seyi Akinwunmi, Shehu Dikko, NFF Secretary
general, Mohammed Sanusi and NFF technical committee chairman,
Ahmed Yusuf Fresh. Unfortunately, none of them were around.

A source who witnessed the drama informed said the security
guards at the federation made an attempt to challenge the
policemen, but had to withdraw after they shown the warrant of
arrest.

“They searched the offices and did not find anything or the
people they were looking for, after the security guards allowed
them access.

“I just wondered what would have happened if they were around,”
our source said.

Recalled Chairman of the panel, Okoi Obono-Obla had on Wednesday
said the five officials must clear their names following alleged
fraud, mismanagement and misapplication of funds leveled against
them.

But they failed to show up thus leading to the panel applying
the use of force.
