EXCLUSIVE: How corruption probe led to NFF, CAF clash, Pinnick's exit

Nigeria Football Federation Upstaging the then emperor of African football, Issa Hayatou, was never going to be a child’s play; with the Cameroonian enjoying a 29-year spell largely unchallenged at the top.

The intense politicking and perceived betrayal culminated in a ‘palace coup’ that saw Mr Pinnick lose out in the CAF hierarchy during the Executive congress held at the recent Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt. “First and foremost, the Nigeria Football Federation is surprised that as your affiliate, the Confederation Africaine de Football would receive a letter with regards to an investigation into its activities from an agency in Nigeria, and CAF would proceed to reply such a letter without seeking some clarification/explanations from the NFF,” the NFF letter to CAF reads.

In its explanation, the NFF frowned at the narration by the SPIP suggesting that monies were paid directly to CAF to attend its congress but the federation admitted that $565,471.00 from its Domiciliary Account was for well-spelled out purposes. “However, the bank records’ narration only captured payments for “CAF Congress in Egypt and Others” as the narration for the payments, for the fact that the CAF Congress estacode was item number 1 on the Payments vouchers among the 5 items being paid for.”
