Rangers’ general manager Christian Chukwu has been suspended by the League Management Company from all Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) activities.
The suspension of the former Super Eagles coach was announced on the official Twitter handle of LMC on Friday.
Chukwu was suspended as a result of the arrest of the former coach of the club, Imama Amakapabo over a pay dispute.
Amapakabo was arrested after he allegedly took off with his official car even after being sacked.
The former Rangers gaffer had claimed that the car was held in lieu of entitlements owed him by the club.
“Rangers General Manager, Christian Chukwu, has been suspended from all NPFL activities with immediate effect pending his appearance before the Ethics Committee of the NFF,” read the statement by LMC.
“The LMC had referred to the NFF Ethics Committee the matter of Chukwu’s conduct in the dispute resolution proceedings between Rangers and their former coach Imama Amapakabo.
“LMC said the referral is pursuant to the provisions of Rule C17.5 of the NPFL Framework and Rules.”
Amapakabo coached Rangers to their first league title in 32 years last season.
