“Auwalu Baba Jada has been suspended from all football-related activities pending investigations into the video recording in which he is apparently the principal character. "

"The investigations will be conducted by the ethics and integrity units of the Nigeria Football Federation."

“Auwalu Baba Jada will have no role in any football activity, event or programme until the investigations are concluded, and this also means he is summarily suspended from his membership of the Interim Management Committee of the Nigeria Professional Football League."

Meanwhile, video clips made the rounds on social media, showing the moment Remo Stars players engaged in suspected match-fixing activities.

Commentators on social media have alleged that a player decided to take a bizarre kick - meaning could mean the match was fixed.
