Alledged signature forgery: NFF board to drag Kawu for forensic examination

The executive board of the Nigeria Football Federa­tion (NFF) has threatened to drag the chairman, Nigeria Na­tionwide League, Alhaji Ahmed Kawu for forensic examination if he fails to withdraw and apologize over his allegation that his signature was forged among those that im­peached erstwhile NFF president, Alhaji Aminu Maigari.
Kawu had disassociated himself from Maigari’s im­peachment, alleging that his signature was forged.
According to him; “I want to put it on record that my signature for the im­peachment of Aminu Maig­ari was forged. I’m not the one who wrote my name neither is it my signature. I want to make it clear to the media that I will challenge the forging of my signature. I will certainly take legal ac­tion about it but I will have to do some consultations.”
However, , a board mem­ber and chairman of chair­men, Chief Effiong Johnson, warned Kawu to withdraw the allegation with an apol­ogy or be ready for forensic examination to ascertain the authenticity of his claims.
Chief Effiong insisted that Kawu signed the impeach­ment voluntarily, explaining that they had given him sev­eral documents showing the sins of the impeached NFF president before he will­ingly signed.
“We were very surprise to read Kawu alleging that his impeachment signature was forged. My advice to him is to watch his utterances or better shut up. If he does not withdraw the allegation, we are going to drag him to forensic examination to as­certain the authenticity of his claims.
“If he loves himself, he should urgently withdraw the claim with an apology. After going through the al­legations against Maigari, he willingly appended his signature without any cohe­sion from anybody,” he af­firmed .
Chief Effiong explained that Kawu ran away when a board member backing Mai­gari has asked him, ‘Kawu, you of all people also signed the impeachment’ after reading out the names of the signatories.
“It is not true that Kawu contested his inclusion and signature. What happened was that he ran away from the boardroom out of shame when a board member ex­pressed surprise for signing the impeachment, despite his closeness to Maigari. He did not continue the meeting with us. We insist he must withdraw the forgery claim or risk forensic examina­tion”
