Nigerian Football Supporters’ Club has announced the expulsion of one of its members, Olarotimi Najim Akinloye, vice President of the club’s association, Ivory Coast chapter

The founder and the President-General of the association, Dr. Rafiu Ladipo, explained the reasons for the expulsion of the member, popularly called ‘Laaro,’ as taking advantage of the President in charge of the Ivory Coast chapter, Sunday Oki, who was sick at the time. He made the announcement in a press briefing that was held on Tuesday, 30th January in Abidjan.

Furthermore, he revealed that Olarotimi unceremoniously made himself the president of the association, lying to people about his position, which they believed could cause harm to the organisation.

“When I got that news, I asked him [Oki] to furnish me the records of his dealings with the embassy. And he brought a heap of letters between their group and the embassy. Giving them letters, sending them correspondence, and writing back to them.

“So when I came here few days ago, I called the chairman, I told him [that] there was need for me to go to the embassy. I went to the embassy, and we spoke with them in the embassy. We confirmed the story, and we knew that was not right.

“If you took advantage of his illness as his vice, now change the truth. There is nothing [else] we need other than to disown you. Not only did you go to the embassy to lie, you are using our name, Nigeria’s Football Supporters’ Club, with copies of letters that they gave you to say you don’t belong to this group, you belong to another group. I am not going to mention names. But, to us, that is what we call anti-club activities.”

Speaking further, Dr. Rafiu explained their decision to show him the exit door, which is best for the progress of the organisation.

“We’ve decided, we’ve had a meeting, to say ‘you are no longer with us’, and today we want to announce his expulsion from the Nigerian football supporters club. Olarotimi Najim Akinloye, Aka Laaro. He is hereby pronounced and dismissed from the Nigerian Football Supporters Club.” he added.

It is important to note that there are close to five factions of the football supporters club today, but the NFSC is regarded as the oldest of them all. #NFSC #nfsctv #nfscglobal #nigeriafootballsupportersclub
