Christopher Giwa Elected As New NFF President

Chairman of Nigeria Professional League side Giwa Football Club, Christopher Giwa, has been elected as the new president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). One question finding an answer within me is why did the DSS arrest some members of the NFF before the election?

Giwa received 27 votes, to beat former vice-president Mike Umeh, who got only two votes. 29 members out of 44 participated in the voting exercise.

The elections were held, after some NFF chieftains including Musa Adamu, the Secretary General were arrested by men from the Department of State Security Services (DSS) and detained. After the storm calmed a bit, Frank Ike Chude then swore in the elected officials.
