NFF crisis: Giwa faction lists dead referee as match official

The Chris Giwa faction of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has appointed a dead referee to officiate the Match day 13 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) tie involving Warri Wolves and Giwa FC.
The faction, in a letter to the league organisers, League Management Company (LMC), appointed late Wale Akinsanya (Oyo) to take charge of the Warri Wolves, Giwa FC clash in Warri this weekend.
Akinsanya is to be assisted by Tope O. (Osun) as AR1and Adeleke M (AR2), while Peter Efozia (Delta) is to serve as reserve referee.
A board member of the Giwa faction, Adama Yahaya, signed the match appointment letter addressed to the LMC Chief Operation Officer.
LMC’s image maker, Harry Iwuala, in an email, however, pointed out that referee appointed for the Warri Wolves, Giwa FC game died on January 22 this year during a FIFA Cooper test in Ibadan.
“See for yourself, the appointment of late Wale Akinsanya by the Giwa NFF for the match between Warri Wolves and Giwa FC in Warri,” Iwuala informed.
