Police seals off Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos

The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) on Monday sealed off state-owned Teslim Balogun Stadium in Surulere Lagos.

 

Sports247 gathered that the action was necessitated as the leadership crisis that rocked The Lagos State Sports Commission (LSSC) brewed.

Since Monday morning, a detachment of policemen and other security officials were stationed at the entrance of the stadium, preventing people from gaining entrance into the facility.

The Lagos State Sports Commission (LSSC) had been engulfed in crisis following an April 23 circular signed by Adeniran Odeyemi, Permanent Secretary, Cabinet Office, directing heads of government agencies to hand over by May 10.

However, LSSC Chairman, Dr Kwekwu Tandoh and the Director General, Babatunde Bank-Anthony, had claimed that the Commission was not affected by the circular.
