Singida Black Stars clear Amas Obasogie of match-fixing allegations

Tanzania Mainland Premier League club Singida Black Stars SC has exonerated goalkeeper Amas Obasogie of alleged match-fixing after completing an internal review into the matter.

​The Nigerian international was suspended by Singida Black Stars in February for allegedly suspicious performances in three matches. These included a CAF Confederation Cup clash against Flambeau du Centre, as well as NBC Premier League fixtures against Pamba Jiji FC and Namungo FC.

​Singida investigation findings

​After reviewing the incidents, considering the player’s defence, and receiving clarification from the club’s General Manager, the investigation found no evidence linking Obasogie to match-fixing.

​Obasogie has now been reinstated and is free to resume his duties with Othmen Najjar’s side. Meanwhile, the 26-year-old has apologised for the circumstances that led to the suspicions and pledged to address the shortcomings identified in his performances to regain the confidence of supporters and stakeholders.

​Obasogie joined Singida Black Stars last year after leaving Ethiopian side Fasil Kenema.
