“We know match officials are offered money or anything to influence matches and they can accept it,” [Fanny Amun, acting Secretary-General of the Nigerian Football Association] told Reuters on Friday.
Amun first made the statement earlier in the week to a football seminar in the capital Abuja, prompting protests from other officials.
“Referees should only pretend to fall for the bait, but make sure the result doesn’t favour those offering the bribe,” Amun said.
