Retired Sports Ministry Director-General Dr Amos Adamu has warned anyone attempting to link his name to the ongoing crisis between the Nigeria Boxing Federation (NBF) and the Nigeria Boxing Board of Control (NBBofC) to desist immediately or face legal action.
Dr Adamu, who retired from the Sports Ministry over a decade ago, was reacting to reports claiming he condemned the National Sports Commission (NSC) over the dispute between both bodies.
"This story is from the pit of hell — a total fabrication with no truth whatsoever," he said. "Why will I, for any reason, criticise or condemn my place of work? The Sports Ministry — now Sports Commission — is my primary constituency.

"Those who know my antecedents know that I have never condemned an institution where I invested all my resources. Is it now that I will start?
"Yes, Dr Rafiu Ladipo came to my house to complain about the issue, and I advised him to resolve the matter amicably with top NSC officials.
"So how does that harmless advice translate into a condemnation of my primary constituency?" queried the former CAF and FIFA executive member.
