Lobi Stars Football Club’s Technical Adviser, Coach Bala Mohammed, was suspended today by the club Interim Management Committee.

The management cited poor performance as the reason for the suspension, having played six games, earned only seven points out of a possible 18, and placed sixth out of eight clubs

The suspension, according to a statement issued on Monday by the club’s Director of Media and Communications, Emmanuel Ujah, followed an emergency meeting of the Committee on Monday in Makurdi.

In the statement, Ujah advised the coach to immediately hand over responsibilities to the Chief Coach of the club, John Onuh.

Bala Mohammed was appointed Technical Adviser in August this year ahead of the new season of the Nigeria Nationwide League.

At the time of his appointment, he had promised to lead the team, which had been relegated from the Premier League after several seasons, back to the top-flight league.

Nigeria’s Super Eagles have opened a training camp in Cairo, Egypt, and commenced preparations for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

The camp, opened yesterday , is situated at the Renaissance Hotels, marking the start of what is expected to be an intensive build-up toward the continental showpiece.

All members of the coaching crew and backroom staff are already in camp, ensuring that administrative, technical, and logistical arrangements are fully in place ahead of the players’ arrival.

The early presence of the officials underlines the seriousness of the team’s preparations and the determination to hit the ground running.

Goalkeeper Francis Uzoho was the first player to report to camp., he arrived in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The experienced shot-stopper touched down shortly after 2:00 a.m. local time, setting the tone for punctuality and commitment among the squad.

Not long after, Stanley Nwabali became the second player to check in, arriving just minutes after Uzoho.

The presence of the two goalkeepers as the earliest arrivals offers the technical crew an immediate opportunity to begin focused work, especially in a department that will be crucial to Nigeria’s AFCON ambitions.
