Coalition of Supporter Clubs: ANFASSC President Condemns Forgery by Members ...Calls for Honesty for Coalition to Work


Prince Yomi Ogunjimi, President of the Authentic Nigeria Football and Allied Sports Supporters Club (ANFASSC), has condemned an attempt to forge his signature to curry favor from authorities.

Prince Ogunjimi reacted to the recent efforts by Kemi Ogunfuwa, President of the Football Fans Club of Nigeria, to forge his signature on a document intended for travel to France for the Olympics. Speaking on the incident, Prince Ogunjimi emphasized the importance of integrity within the coalition of supporter groups. He stated, "Efforts are being made to unify different supporter groups under one umbrella, which is a welcome development. However, there are procedures that must be followed. This brazen act by a coalition member at this early stage is counterproductive."

Kemi Ogunfuwa allegedly forged Prince Ogunjimi's signature on a document presented to the Nigeria Olympic Committee (NOC), claiming it had the endorsement of the presidents of five major supporters clubs in Nigeria. Prince Ogunjimi, however, denied any knowledge of such efforts or signing any documents.

The matter is currently under investigation by the Nigeria Police Force's Anti-Fraud Unit, led by CP Akpanudom at Alagbon. Prince Ogunjimi's lawyers are pursuing the case to its conclusion.

This incident is not isolated, as Ogunfuwa was previously arrested by Interpol's Force CID Alagbon, Lagos, in 2016 for forging documents presented to the Brazilian Embassy. The Consular General of the Brazilian Embassy in Lagos discovered the forged documents, including fake bank statements, submitted by Ogunfuwa, who claimed to be a Protocol Officer of the Okumagba group.
