The current supremo of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick, is no doubt facing  one of  his worst times in football administration, MERIDIAN SPY can exclusively report. 

Mr Pinnick, whose grace to grass news has left the media abuzz lately, is currently battling for a haven out of his current travail.  

The NFF boss was greeted with an expected sack letter as the 1st Vice President of the CAF in the end of AFCON 2019 tournament in Egypt.

CAF President, Ahmad Ahmad  on Thursday fired Pinnick as his 1st Vice President. Pinnick’s sack was bordered on some weighty allegations, according to Ahmad. He was however  replaced with Constant Omari from Democratic Republic of Congo. 

When one would think that Pinnick’s fall from administrative stardom in African football was the end of it all, comes a glut of further embarrassments on the part of the Nigerian football boss.

A reliable source in CAF told MERIDIAN SPY that the embattled Nigerian football boss had been evicted as member from all committees in CAF, including his membership in AFCON organizing Committee. 

This newspaper also gathered that CAF is currently reviewing its various committees to be more effective with coordinating officials who have proven track record of integrity.

Pinnick’s disgraceful fall in CAF is currently causing some inside fracas in the NFF as some officials in the federation want him sacked following a cornucopia of allegations before him.

  • Jilli Airstrike: Supporters Of Terrorists Will Be Treated As Bandits, Defence Minister Warns Defence Minister Christopher Musa has warned that supporters of terrorists would be treated as criminals. He said this on Monday as he reacted to the airstrike carried out by the Nigerian Air Force airstrike in Jilli, Borno State, over the weekend. Speaking after an expanded security meeting in Kaduna with the state governor and heads of security agencies, Musa said the operation sends a clear message to those collaborating with terrorist groups. He stressed that anyone found supporting insurgents would face the same consequences as the perpetrators. “A friend of a thief is a thief,” he said, warning civilians against associating with or providing any form of assistance to terrorists. Musa urged residents to steer clear of areas known to be used by insurgents, noting that proximity or collaboration could have grave consequences. The airstrike, carried out near the village of Jilli in Gubio Local Government Area, targeted what the military described as an ISWAP enclave and logistics hub. According to the Nigerian Air Force, the operation was intelligence-driven and aimed at neutralising terror elements and destroying their equipment. However, reports have emerged alleging that the strike may have affected a weekly market in the area, with civilians, including cross-border traders, reportedly among casualties. Musa, however, maintained that the strike should serve as a strong warning to those aiding insurgent activities, reaffirming the military’s resolve to intensify operations against terrorist networks. Air Component of Joint Task Force (North East) Operation HADIN KAI, conducted a precision air strike on a known terrorist enclave and logistics hub located near the abandoned village of Jilli in Gubio Local Government Area of Borno State. Giving an update on the airstrike, the Nigerian Army in a post on its official X handle said, “The successful strike, executed on 11 April 2026, followed sustained intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance missions over the Bindul–Jilli axis, an area long identified as a major terrorist movement corridor and convergence point for Islamic State West Africa Province terrorists and their collaborators.”
