The Investigative and Disciplinary Committee set up by the Nigeria Para-Powerlifting Federation (NPPF) on Friday said the federation’s embattled President, Queen Uboh-Idris, violated the Code of Conduct guiding the federation.
The head of the panel, Fred Edoreh, in a brief with the media on the panel’s findings and recommendations after one month of activities, gave an overview of the report.
The panel which concluded the one-month investigative activities has Edoreh as Chairman, Pius Asaba as Secretary, with Sunny Odebode, Samuel Eke-Omah and Omende Thompson as other members.
Edoreh said the panel made painstaking efforts to make far-reaching decisions on the allegations of infractions committed by Uboh-Idris, and found out there were some lapses in her manner of administration.
“We held a meeting and we decided that we are going to operate on the code of ethics of the federation given by the Sports Ministry.
“We spoke with the accused who is the president, board members and many stakeholders of the NPPF. We even wrote to the Sports Ministry to ensure that we gave a fair hearing.
“All our reports are cross-examined and we also double-checked our facts whenever in doubt and we were able to arrive at our conclusions,’’ he said.
