Operatives of the Department of
State Services (DSS) have ejected Chris Giwa from the secretariat of the
Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
Giwa and the staff who occupied
the NFF secretariat on July 2 have been asked to immediately vacate the
premises.
FIFA, football governing body,
had threatened to ban Nigeria if the situation was not resolved and Amaju
Pinnick not reinstated as NFF president.
The DSS operatives, who carried
out the ejection exercise on Monday, said they were working on instructions
from above.
A few hours after the exercise,
Muhammed Sanusi, secretary-general of the NFF, was led to his office by the DSS
operatives.
Sanusi has since resumed his
duties as head of the football federation secretariat in Nigeria.
The president’s office was also
cleared in readiness for the resumption of Pinnick who will return to Nigeria
on Tuesday.
Pinnick had been away supervising
the CAF roundtable symposium on Africa’s performance at the recently-concluded
2018 Russia World Cup.
