The world football
governing body, FIFA is keenly interested in the match fixing involving four
Nigerian clubsides.
We heard on good
authority that FIFA called in while the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF
committee set up to look into the matter were meeting in the afternoon at the
NFF secretariat. The international media are also not left out as they kept
calling on daily basis.

This has sent jilter to
the Glass House, (NFF secretariat), as the officials were seen running helter
skelter, from post to pillars to ensure that they come out with a satisfactory reports
for the world body.
It would be recalled
that that FIFA issued a statement on the issue and is currently monitoring to
see how the NFF handles the matter. According to statement, “FIFA also
recognises that the issue is "firstly" an internal matter.
“The matter is firstly
the responsibility of the Nigerian Football (Federation). Therefore FIFA is
currently monitoring the situation and waiting for action taken by the Nigerian
(federation)” FIFA stated.
It would be recalled
that Plateau United Feeders defeated Akurba FC while Police Machine defeated
Bubayaro FC by outrageous scorelines of 79-0 and 67-0 respectively last
weekend to produce 146 goals, the second highest after the match in Madagascar which ended 149.
