Two men claiming to be Obi’s aides breached Flamingos’ security – NSC DG

The Director-General of the National Sports Commission, Bukola Olopade, has accused two men who claimed to be former Anambra State governor Peter Obi’s protocol officers of breaching security procedures while attempting to meet Nigeria’s Under-17 women’s football team, the Flamingos, at the airport. Olopade stated that officials of the Nigeria Football Federation and the NSC did not see Obi at the airport when the team returned from Morocco on Saturday.

He explained that the two men approached officials while the players were being escorted into buses after an overnight flight, describing the approach as a breach of security arrangements put in place to protect the team.
