They are also accused of stealing $125,000 through shady hotel bookings in South Africa during the World Cup.
The former Glass House top officials are equally accused of breaching the procurement procedure in the purchase of two Marcopolo buses for the national teams as well as the bribing of state chairmen of the NFF with N185m to influence their continued stranglehold of the football federation.
