Super Eagles AFCON hopes in jeopardy as the Nigerian Football Federation's account is currently frozen
A Federal
High Court today froze the accounts of the Nigeria Football Federation in
Lagos, Nigeria. The NFF were just on the verge of receiving 1.4 Billion Naira
from the government in preparation for next month’s African Cup of Nations,
however, with the recent incident, the Super Eagles could be greatly affected.
Speaking to MTNFootball.com, both NFF general secretary Musa Amadu and media
director Ademola denied being aware of such ruling.
“I'm not in the
office now and I can't confirm that to you now until I get to the office,” -Amadu
“I'm not aware of that development. I've not been around, I just got back to Abuja,” -Olajire added.
According to MTNFootball.com Minaj Broadcasting Corporation
dragged the NFF to court over a $4 million broadcasting right that was paid 10
years ago for the broadcast rights of the Nigeria Premier League when it was
still managed by the NFF. Last year, MBC reported their case to the court and
the company reportedly got a ruling for the NFF repay half of that amount, but
this was not followed.“I'm not aware of that development. I've not been around, I just got back to Abuja,” -Olajire added.
Following Thursday’s high court ruling, this means that parts of the cash the
NFF are expected to reciece for the Nations Cup could now be awarded to MBC by
the court if the money is lodged in the federation’s account.
