The police have so far arrested a dozen staff members of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) over the $200,000 stolen at the association’s offices in Abuja last week
Goal.com has been reliably informed that the police has thus far arrested and detained 12 members of staff of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) in its investigations over a missing $200,000, which was meant for the country’s World Cup preparations.
“So far 12 members of staff have been arrested. They are mainly those in the accounts department,” a top official told Goal.com
“They have been detained with a special proviso that they should not be allowed any visitors.”
NFF chiefs have insisted that the theft will not disrupt Nigeria’s build-up for Sunday’s World Cup qualfier against Mozambique in Maputo.
The country’s training camp will open on Monday as originally planned with the Europe-based stars arriving Johannesburg in South Africa.
