Adamu refutes 'all allegations'
FIFA: Amos Adamu, the Nigerian official provisionally suspended by FIFA over bribery allegations, yesterday denied any wrongdoing.
Adamu and Tahiti’s Reynald Temarii, two members of FIFA’s 24-man executive committee who will decide which nations host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, were suspended by the governing body after being the subjects of an undercover investigation by the Sunday Times, who allege the pair asked for cash in return for their votes.
In a statement yesterday, Adamu said: “Whilst I wholly refute all allegations made, I fully support the inquiry since it is important that these claims are thoroughly investigated.”
