LMC Suspends Rangers Manager Christian Chukwu

The League Management Company (LMC) has suspended with “immediate effect”, Enugu Rangers general manager, Christian Chukwu, from all Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) activities.

The LMC in a statement on Friday said CHukwu was slammed with the suspension following his “conduct in the dispute resolution proceedings between Rangers & their former coach, Imama Amapakabo.”

Rangers had earlier in the week arrested Amapakabo, who coached the club to their first league title in 32 years last season, for allegedly taking his official car even after he had been sacked.

The gaffer however denied the claims saying 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,” the LMC stated.

“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.
