REPORTED MANIPULATIONS IN OUR LEAGUE MATCHES?
- This mail was sent to me by a concerned and ardent follower of the Nigeria League,and i am pushed for the interest of our League to publish this.Please i employ the president of the Nigeria Football Referees Association(Tade Azeez),the chairman Referees Committee of the NFF(Ahmed Fresh),the LMC chairman(Shehu Dikko) to urgently look into this allegations for the good of the game .
Sir,
RE: MANIPULATIONS OF MATCH OUTCOME/MATCH FIXING
Please refer to the above subject, which I have earlier communicated to Alh. Salihu Abubakar (COO LMC) for his attention.
You may remember that after the week 10 matches, the LMC pronounced commencement of investigations into the conduct of some Referees adjudged for misconduct. In his reaction, the NRA President, Mr. Tade Assis condemned the LMC's decision and action. This he did in his remarks during the opening of the 2015 FIFA MA Course.
Mr. Tade's outburst was self-incriminating as he was the same person who outrightly ensure the suspension of 2 Referees earlier within 24hrs of their match for gross misconduct.
It is no more news among the pressmen that Mr. Tade is an agent of Gabros FC (now Ifeanyi Uba FC) and his action was primarily to cover his tracks.
Few days before week 10 matches, Tade met with the Referee of the week 10 home match of Gabros FC, Henry Ogunyanmodi (OD) in Lagos and gave him strict instruction. Henry's outright mismanagement of the match was in compliance with Tade's instruction.
Very disturbing trend is the weeks 12 and 13 appointments of officials, which Tade manipulated the Referees' committee to plant his stooges as officials of Gabros match.
WEEK 12: Adigwe G (LG) - Ref; Huzzain K. (LG) - AR I; Aromona M. (LG) - AR II; Salaudeen Adams Adebayo (LG) - Assessor.
Adigwe is known to be PA to Tade and will do everything for his boss while the others owe heir present status in refereeing to Tade and will carry out his bidden. This they did in week 12 for Gabros.
WEEK 13: Jelili O. (LG) - Ref; Ojo O. (LG) - AR I; Cletus A. (LG) - AR II
In similar way, Jelili is one of Tade's PA and his known errand boy, who will carry out his instructions to the letter; the ARs are newly promoted who owe Tade the glory of their promotion and will do all possible to gladde his heart.
It is a dangerous trend and unhealthy for the integrity and growth of our league. Tade has been manipulating not only the Premier league but also the NNL. He has boasted about it to clubs and some FAs that he is the one that will decide he fate of clubs in the south because he is single handedly deploying Refs for their matches. Gateway, MFM, and few other clubs have given him a lot of money to facilitate the Referees of their choice.
As advised by Dr. Omerua during the MC seminar, I have formally reported this trends to FIFA for investigation because neither the LMC nor the NFF can and will investigate the atrocities of Tade because he is NRA President, FA Vice Chairman and an associate of the Deputy president of the federation.
I wrote just to let you know what is happening in our league and under your administration.
Thank you.
