Security Forces Secure NFF Secretariat for FIFA Meeting
On 14 September 2026, security operatives, primarily from the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigeria Police Force, took over the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) secretariat in anticipation of a stakeholders' meeting with FIFA. Over 20 security personnel, armed and positioned strategically around the complex, enforced rigorous screening protocols, making it extremely difficult for visitors and stakeholders to enter.
Journalists were specifically denied access based on an order from higher authorities, citing an ongoing high-level management meeting inside. An official vehicle from the State House was observed delivering documents to the NFF secretariat prior to the meeting's commencement.
The presence of security forces and the strict access controls indicate heightened security measures surrounding the FIFA meeting.
