The FIFA Ethics Committee, under the chairmanship of Claudio Sulser, yesterday provisionally suspend, with immediate effect, the members of the FIFA Executive Committee Amos Adamu and Reynald Temarii from taking part in any football-related activity (administrative, sports or any other) after examining their cases in relation to the bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups™.

After hearing Amos Adamu and Reynald Temarii, the Ethics Committee considered that a provisional suspension was required while the investigation continues, taking into account the gravity of the case and the likelihood that a breach of the FIFA Statutes, the FIFA Code of Ethics and the FIFA Disciplinary Code has been committed.

Reacting to the suspension of the former director general of the National Sports Commission, former chairman of the Nigeria Football Association, Kojo Williams said he had little to add to what he had been saying about the man. Simply put, Kojo said “I have been vindicated. I say no more because, there is nothing to add.

On his part, former chairman of the Nigeria Cycling Federation, Reverend Moses Iloh said, “Glory be to God. Adamu’s sins have been too many. It is a shame that he was caught in a foreign land. He has tarnished the image of this country.”
