NFF CRISIS: I Didn’t Forge FIFA’s Letter – Amadu


Musa Amadu

The General Secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation, Musa Amadu, has denied claims that he has been forging FIFA letters to suit certain purposes and has asked to be sued if it can be proven that he has been involved in forgery.

The Nation reports several FIFA letters have been received by the NFF over the last six month since the federation crises began, and there have been insinuations in some quarters that some of those letters may have been forged to suit certain agenda, with Amadu primarily fingered as the culprit.

However, the NFF General Secretary, himself a lawyer, has told sl10.ng that if the allegations can be proven, then he should be taken to court for forgery.

“If Musa Amadu is manufacturing letters from FIFA, that is a criminal offence, a forgery and people should take Musa Amadu to court. You know it is a criminal offence. He who alleges, must prove and if somebody says Musa Amadu forges letters from FIFA, he should provide the evidence to the police, so that they can prosecute Musa Amadu for a criminal offence,” he said unequivocally.
The latest FIFA letter, which apparently recognized the controversial “majority report”– that dismissed all petitions against the conduct of the September 30 NFF elections and upheld the elections of Amaju Pinnick and his board members – has since caused more controversy, with insinuations that the letter was manufactured by the NFF to suit their agenda.
