By Rasheed Adewuyi
The Nigeria Football Federation has announced the suspension of football official Auwalu Baba Jada from all football-related activities, pending investigations into a video that has been trending online for some days now, in which “he is the principal character,” a recent NFF press release alleges.
“Auwalu Baba Jada has been suspended from all football-related activities pending investigations into the video recording in which he is the principal character. The NFF has tasked the ethics and integrity units to investigate.
“Auwalu Baba Jada will have no role in any football activity, event, or program until the conclusion of the investigations, and this also means he is summarily suspended from his membership of the Interim Management Committee of the Nigeria Professional Football League,” NFF General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi said on Tuesday.
In the referenced video that is turning heads on Youtube, Auwalu is boasting about influencing professional league match results in virtually every pitch across the length and breadth of Nigeria except matches involving Lagos-based club MFF.
