Ogunjobi, Baribote Gets NFF Hammer

Rumson Baribote and Taiwo Ogunjobi have been handed lengthy bans by the Nigeria Football Federation.
Ousted League boss Rumson Baribote has been handed a 15-year ban from all football-related activities for unethical conduct which includes dragging the NFF to court to demand the dissolution of the interim Nigeria Premier League board.
Former NFF Head of Technical Committee, Ogunjobi, was handed a 10-year ban after he was implicated in a contractual mess which threatened to stall the career of Nigeria youth international Kayode Olarenwaju.
These sanctions were announced in a communique released by the NFF after an Executive Meeting held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, shortly before the Super Eagles squared off against the Walya Antelopes of Ethiopia.
The decision to hand the lengthy bans to both men was based on the recommendations of a Chris Green-led investigative committee set up to look into offences in which they were implicated.
It was also announced through the communique that Adeleye Adepoju, the head of the NFF’s Organizing and Disciplinary Committee, has been suspended as a result of bribery allegations levelled against him.
The sanctions are expected to be ratified by the General Assembly of the Nigeria Football Federation, which is scheduled to take place on 28th of November in Warri Delta State.
