The Board of Nigeria Boxing Federation has indefinitely suspended its Vice President, Azania Omo-Agege.

African Boxing Federation confirmed that Azania Omo-Agege impersonated as President of NBF.

Letter signed by the Secretary General of Nigeria Boxing Federation, Akinyele Oladapo read that Azania Omo-Agege forged and printed letterhead of the NBF without approval.

The statement reads; “At no time has Azania Omo-Agege briefed or written any report on the outcome of meetings at AFBC and IBA for the action of the President.

“That you failed to utilise the opportunity provided by the board to reconcile you and the President at the last zoom meeting.

“That you constituted yourself as one man parallel body against the majority of the board who affirmed the decision to join the World Boxing body as a step in the right direction for the growth of boxing.

“Your claim to IBA that President of Nigeria Boxing Federation Lieutenant General Kenneth Minimah has ceased to be President according to constitution is null and void as well as embarrassing.

“Withdraw the letter written to IBA on Nigeria, the suit against the World body, issue a press release denouncing the earlier release, write an apology to the President as well as board within 21 days.”
