The Nigeria Football Federation has announced the suspension of football official, Auwalu Jada, from all football-related activities, pending investigations into a video that has been trending online for some days now, in which he is apparently the principal character.

In the said video, the IMC member, Jada, was said to have disclosed how he manipulated and fixed matches in the Nigeria elite football league.

“Auwalu Baba Jada has been suspended from all football-related activities pending investigations into the video recording in which he is apparently the principal character. The investigations will be conducted by the ethics and integrity units of the Nigeria Football Federation.

“Auwalu Baba Jada will have no role in any football activity, event or programme until the investigations are concluded, and this also means he is summarily suspended from his membership of the Interim Management Committee of the Nigeria Professional Football League”, the NFF General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi said on Tuesday.
