The national secretariat of
the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) in Abuja was like a battleground
yesterday, as the Nigeria Police numbering over 50 stormed the Glass House
apparently to forestall any breakdown of law and order, following the Supreme Court
ruling on the fresh crisis rocking Nigeria football.
The Supreme Court had last
week, Friday ruled on the case involving the Ambassador Chris Giwa faction of
the NFF and the main football federation over the rightful occupant of the
Glass House, referring the two parties to the Jos High Court.
However, the police from
the FCT Command had deployed large contingents of its personnel in the early
hours of Monday in anticipation of any possible breakdown of law and order as a
result of the speculation that Giwa may forcefully resume as the federation
president yesterday.
Storming the venue with
over four fully loaded patrol vehicles with registration numbers NPF439C,
NPF8393C, NPF454C, the Police team had strategically positioned their patrol
vans at the entrance gate to the Glass House, stationing other personnel inside
the compound perhaps to stop any unwanted visitor gaining entrance.
Although the police
personnel were very civil in their handling of the assignment especially as
they never stopped to screen or question any visitor, their positioning inside
the premises of the football house and at the entrance gate were enough signal
to warn any troublemaker that he is at a wrong place.
Despite the police
presence, Daily Sunsport can report that normal activities went uninterrupted
as the staff, the General Secretary, Dr Mohammed Sanusi and other members of
the management staff carried on with the day’s activities.
