NFF to probe Stephen Keshi concerning alleged Ivory coast job

Keshi (1)

The disciplinary committee of the Nigeria Football Federation has said that the body will further probe Stephen Keshi’s coaching job application to the Ivorian FA.

Keshi and goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama were summoned to appear before the NFF’s disciplinary panel Tuesday.

The federation accused Keshi of applying for job as coach of Ivory Coast. It accused Enyeama of insubordination.

Keshi, who appeared before the committee Tuesday, denied applying for the job, while goalkeeper Enyeama boycotted the meeting.

Speaking to the media after a long meeting at the Headquarters of the NFF in Abuja, the chairman of the committee and NFF Executive board member, Chris Green, said they will investigate further by reaching out to the Ivorians to know whether Keshi applied for the vacant post.

“The committee has made some recommendations to the Executive board and we cannot disclose them to the Press right now. On Keshi’s part, we will investigate the issue, and take it further by going to Ivory Coast to get to the roots of the matter,” Green said.

Stephen Keshi’s agent, Emmanuel Adoo, had earlier said that his client did not apply for the job while some online documents that surfaced revealed Keshi’s Agent submitted an application to the Ivorian FA on June 11.

Chris Green also said the committee has also made recommendations to the board concerning goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama who failed to turn up.

Prophetic Confirmation: Prophet Kingsley Aitafo’s Revelation Unfolds Again

Prophetic Confirmation: Prophet Kingsley Aitafo's Revelation Unfolds Again

Prophetic Confirmation: Prophet Kingsley Aitafo’s Revelation Unfolds Again

 

Renowned prophetic voice and spiritual leader Prophet Kingsley Aitafo, has once again stirred spiritual and global conversations with the fulfillment of one of his recent prophecies—this time concerning the alarming escalation of military tensions between India and Pakistan.

 

In a previously shared prophetic message, the seer warned:

“Let us continue to pray against a third world war. I see something like a mini-war. Also, let us gather and pray against another ailment coming to the earth—one more deadly than COVID-19.”

 

Prophetic Confirmation: Prophet Kingsley Aitafo's Revelation Unfolds Again

As of today, these words have taken on a troubling resonance. India and Pakistan have reportedly entered their most intense military confrontation in decades, with hostilities extending well beyond the long-disputed Kashmir region. Multiple credible international reports confirm drone and missile attacks between the nations, sparking fears of a broader conflict.

 

 

Stephanie Bennett, reporting from London, noted:

 

“It’s the biggest military conflict in decades between India and Pakistan, and there’s no clear end in sight. What began in Kashmir has rapidly escalated into widespread artillery and drone warfare, with both sides claiming to be acting in retaliation.”

 

Despite assurances from Indian forces of a desire to avoid further escalation, tensions remain dangerously high. Both countries, equipped with nuclear capabilities, are under global scrutiny as concerns mount over the potential for further escalation into a catastrophic war.

 

 

Each side denies initiating the aggression, placing blame squarely on retaliatory measures. However, with rhetoric intensifying and the threat of nuclear engagement looming, international observers are calling for immediate de-escalation and diplomatic intervention.

 

 

This latest development raises concerns on the geopolitical front and highlights the prophetic accuracy of Prophet Aitafo’s warnings, sparking renewed calls for prayer, spiritual sensitivity, and preparedness in uncertain times.

 

 

As his warnings continue to unfold with uncanny accuracy, many are asking: Are we heeding the signs, or ignoring divine instructions?

Why We Rejected N200 Million Bribe to Stage Protest Against President Tinubu, Matawalle — Group

Lagos APC in Turmoil as Chairmanship Aspirants Reject ‘Imposition Plot’ Ahead of Council Polls

 

An advocacy group, the Northern Socio-Political Rights Network (NSPRN), says it turned down a N200 million bribe offered by proxies linked to the Zamfara State Government to mobilise a protest against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle.

In a statement issued on Saturday in Kaduna, the group’s president, Mohammed Farouk Lawal, said the offer was made to them through third-party emissaries earlier this week, with clear instructions to publicly accuse President Tinubu’s administration of shielding Matawalle from corruption investigations.

Lawal said the plot was part of a calculated campaign to weaken the federal government’s hold on the North-West by discrediting key appointees loyal to the president.

“We were approached by individuals claiming to represent high-ranking officials in Zamfara. They offered us N200 million to organise a large-scale protest in Abuja, targeting President Tinubu and Dr. Matawalle,” Lawal said.

“The aim was to give the impression that the North has turned against the president and that there is widespread outrage over perceived protection of certain ministers from investigation. We rejected the offer outright.”

He alleged that the same network had already funded previous protests using other groups and was aggressively scouting for new voices to legitimise its campaign.

“They are desperate for credibility. When they realised that our group has a clean record and strong grassroots following in the North, they thought buying us over would amplify their lies. But we are not for sale,” Lawal said.

According to him, some of the terms of the deal included reading out pre-written scripts at press conferences, staging a protest at the EFCC headquarters, and creating viral videos calling for Matawalle’s arrest.

The NSPR Network said the offer confirms that recent protests against the Minister of State for Defence were not grassroots-driven but part of a “state-funded blackmail operation”.

“What is happening is an internal war against Tinubu’s appointees. We have it on good authority that these attacks are designed to cause disaffection ahead of 2027. But this group will not be part of it,” Lawal declared.

The group commended President Tinubu for appointing northern leaders with capacity and defended Matawalle as one of the few former governors actively supporting military efforts to curb banditry and terrorism in the North.

“While some are busy funding protests, the minister is helping to secure our region. Nigerians must see through this charade,” Lawal added.

The group urged security agencies to probe the source of funds allegedly being used to sponsor political protests in the capital, warning that if unchecked, such actions could pose a threat to national stability.
