Samson Siasia has been banned for life by FIFA after being found guilty over bribery and manipulation of matches.

The former Super Eagles of Nigeria coach has been banned from all football-related activities over attempts to rig matches at international level.

The world football’s governing body said it opened disciplinary proceedings after a vast investigation into various international matches that Singaporean Wilson Raj Perumal, a convicted match-fixer, had attempted to manipulate for betting purposes.

“The adjudicatory chamber of the independent Ethics Committee has found Mr. Samson Siasia, a former official of the Nigeria Football Federation, guilty of having accepted that he would receive bribes in relation to the manipulation of matches in violation of the FIFA Code of Ethics,” FIFA statement said.

“The formal ethics proceedings against Mr. Siasia were initiated on 11 February 2019 and stem from an extensive investigation into matches that Mr. Wilson Raj Perumal attempted to manipulate for betting purposes.

Our people deny allegations when haven't been caught and presented with evidence. You can never separate any Nigerian coach or ex-coaches from corruption. He should just pick bayelsa gubernatorial election form since his football coaching career is over if he can't overturn the ban. Our people won't bother whether he is corrupt or not.

For life? Daz kind of harsh. so his coaching career is over, it's a pity

Broda wey no wise

FIFA we no go free! Remember him mama dey for kidnappers or mamanappers den o!

What a ugly twist to a hitherto glittering career, Nigeria and corruption are 5 and 6. Too bad.
