Federation, NFF, is currently on at the federation's
secretariat in Abuja.
Embattled chairman of the Nigeria football Federation, NFF
is currently locked with members of the 'board' of the
Nigeria football Federation.
The meeting is being held at the federation's secretariat in
Abuja and Journalists are concerned with the unusual
number of security officials, ranging from police to
Department of State Security, DSS officials at the scene.
There has yet to be an official confirmation letter from FIFA
that the suspension has been dropped, as Maigari has
returned after the court case was dropped by the wife of
Rumson Baribote, owner of Nembe City Football Club.
As courts in Nigeria are still closed due to workers strike,
there is still no official confirmation that the case has been
dropped.
NFF officials are poised to brief reporters soon as they wrap
up the meeting.
The Maigari issue started when heavy armed men came to
the NFF glass house and whisked the chairman off after the
court ordered them to.
Maigari and some of his board members where called to
court by the case brought by the wife of Rumson Baribote,
owner of Nembe City Football Club.
Immediately this new got out, FIFA who strongly dislikes
anyone meddling in its member countries football related
issues, Banned the country.
And in a bid to get back in the good light of FIFA, Sports
Minister Danagogo pleaded with Mrs Baribote to drop the
case.
