​The experienced tactician also revealed that he had received several threats to his life while carrying out his duties, both through physical confrontations and on social media. He stated that these threats prompted his decision to resign after consulting with his family.

​Maikaba is widely regarded as one of the most experienced coaches in Nigerian football, having managed several top-flight clubs throughout his distinguished career.
