Other chieftains of the NFF who were also discharged of similar offences by the court include; SEYI AKINWUNMI, 1st Vice President, SHEHU DIKKO; 2nd Vice President, MOHAMMED SANUSI General Secretary and AHMED YUSUF; an Executive Committee member.
The NFF executives were charged on 16 counts of corruption and misappropriation of the said sums from the 2014 FIFA Grant, and conflict of interest and non-declaration of assets, by the defunct Special Presidential Investigation Panel, headed by OKON OBONO-OBLA.
Justice IJEOMA OJUKWU dismissed the entire case with all 16 charges, and acquitted the NFF chieftains, after counsel representing the Attorney-General of the Federation applied to withdraw the charges.
The AGF took over the case from the office of the SPIP which originally instituted the case against the defendants.
