Perumal's Match Fixing Allegation

Following an allegation laid on Nigeria's football administrating body by Singaporean Raj Wilson Perumal, accusing the NFF of Match-fixing some of the nation's games in previous World Cups including qualifiers for the South Africa 2010 World Cup, the Federation of International Football Associations FIFA has requested for the match footage of the game involving Nigeria and Kenya on November 14, 2009: Nigeria won that match by 3-2.

The NFF submitted the tape as part of the probe on the allegation embarked upon by FIFA to ascertain the facts in the accusation. FIFA is expected to conduct a thorough investigation on the matter which the NFF has threatened to sue the accuser if there is no truth in the matter.

A source (not Pulse Sports) quoted a top NFF official to have said that: ''The core of the match-fixer's allegations is based on our match against Kenya in Nairobi, which we won 3-2. After some difficulties in getting the match tape, we have finally submitted it to FIFA for them to further study.''

Nigeria risks FIFA sanctions if they are found culpable in the match-fixing allegation.
