1st Vice President of the NFF, Barrister Seyi Akinwunmi, who is also chairman of the NFF Organizing Committee, frowned at the attack and stated unambiguously that the Federation would investigate the incident.
“This is barbaric. I saw the photographs on television and it was very bad. Why I attack a Coach for any reason? We will get to the root of this matter and those found to be culpable will face severe sanctions.”
Officials said on Friday evening that Ogunbote, who took Sunshine Stars FC to the semi finals of the CAF Confederation Cup a few years ago, was attacked by armed persons believed to be fans of Sharks FC, alledgely for dropping some players who are indigenes of Rivers State from the team.
He is presently receiving treatment in a hospital in Port Harcourt.
