At an executive committee meeting in Abuja on Thursday, Maigari was accused of "uncalled-for secrecy surrounding all financial dealings of the Federation and failure to call meeting of the Executive Committee for the past eight ( months, during which so many weighty decisions on Nigeria football had been taken by a small cabal within the Board".

Consequently, in a motion for impeachment moved by Shehu Adamu and seconded by Deji Tinubu, the Executive Committee passed a vote of no confidence on the NFF President, Alhaji Aminu Maigari.

A communique at the end of the meeting stated that "the Committee approved the immediate dismissal of Alhaji Aminu Maigari, from the NFF Executive Committee on grounds of financial misappropriation, misapplication and maladministration."

First Vice President Mike Okeke Umeh was appointed Acting President, to preside over the affairs of the Federation, pending the composition of the new NFF Executive Committee after the elections of Tuesday, 26th August, 2014.

The decision brings to a head weeks of crisis during which the NFF had a court order restraining it from acting, leading to Nigeria being suspended by FIFA
