President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Mr Amaju
Pinnick, has been impeached as 1st Vice-President of the Confederation of
African Football (CAF).
His removal took place on Thursday at CAF Executive Committee
meeting, after a well-attended congress

position after the corruption case brought against former Ghana FA President and
CAF 1st VP, Kwesi Nyantakyi.
CAF executive committee on Wednesday agreed to allow FIFA
Secretary General take charge of the administration of CAF for a period of 6
Months.
The FIFA Secretary is expected to take over the running of
CAF in spite objection by some Executive Committee members.
Samoura will be in charge for an initial six-month period
due to begin on August 1, with her team responsible to carry out a “full
forensic audit” of CAF, whose President Ahmad Ahmad is facing allegation of
corruption.
Ahmad was arrested over corruption charges in Paris last
month. (NAN)
