The chairman of Nigeria Football Federation Aminu Maigari has been removed by the body's executive committee.
NFF President Aminu Maigari removed by Executive committee
Maigari was impeached based on allegations of financial misappropriation, misapplication and maladministration.
The NFF executive committee passed a vote of no confidence on Maigari on Thursday, 24 July, 2014.
The football federation's decision was made a week after a regional high court reinstated Maiguri and the NFF board following their sacking which had led to a Fifa's ban on Nigeria for government interference.
The NFF said in a statement it had acted because of "the uncalled-for secrecy surrounding all financial dealings of the federation and failure to call a meeting of the executive committee for the past eight months".
It added: "Vice President, Chief Mike Okeke Umeh, will take up the position of Acting President and will preside over the affairs of the federation, pending the composition of the new NFF executive committee after the elections of 26 August."
