Nigerian Goalkeeper Amas Obasogie Cleared Of Match-Fixing Allegations By Tanzanian Club
Tanzanian side Singida Black Stars has officially cleared Nigerian goalkeeper Amas Obasogie of all match-fixing and gambling claims.
The Super Eagles reserve goalkeeper, who had been suspended for three months pending investigation, was declared innocent in a statement released on Saturday by the club’s CEO, Jonathan Kassano.
Obasogie faced allegations after a series of mistakes on the field, and the club’s disciplinary committee had initially taken action while looking into the claims.
Following a preliminary investigation into his performances in league and continental matches, the club found no evidence of wrongdoing. The statement confirmed that the incidents in question were technical errors rather than deliberate misconduct.
“After reviewing the player’s defense and obtaining a reliable statement from the Club’s General Manager, it has been determined that there is no evidence of match-fixing or gambling. The incidents that raised concerns were technical errors within the game,” the statement read.
Obasogie has apologized for his performances, and his suspension has been lifted. He has now resumed his duties with the team.
“In light of this, the Club has reversed the previous decision to suspend the player for three months, allowing him to continue his responsibilities with the squad,” the club added.
Obasogie joined Singida Black Stars a year ago from the Ethiopian League and has been part of the team since.
