An executive committee member of the Confederation of Africa Football, Hasan Bility, has threatened to challenge the decision of FIFA to take over the administration of the Africa football body, in Swiss-based Court of Arbitration for Sport.

In a press statement on Monday, Bility, who is from Liberia, said he would be seeking the injunction of the court to declare as invalid the agreement by which FIFA Secretary-General Fatma Samoura would be sent on a secondment to overhaul the African football governing body.
Bility also wants to ask the court to compel CAF to start a forensic audit of its finances.
CAF has been in crisis following corruption allegations against its president, Ahmad Ahmad, which he denied.
Despite Ahmad’s denial, Bility insisted that the CAF president must resign.
“In an attempt to salvage CAF from imminent implosion and irreversible reputational damage, FIFA proposed a poorly conceptualised and worse executed agreement.
“Logically, and in a sane world, the acquiescence by the CAF leadership that they have been unable to manage their own affairs ought to have been followed by quick resignation of its top leaders.
“It is clear to me and many others that the agreement as currently structured has the sole purpose of shielding and cleansing CAF President Ahmad from the crimes he has committed — financial impropriety, sexual harassment and nepotism.
“Infantino has thus seized this opportunity to offer Fatma a ‘golden parachute’ into a confederation job to pave the way for her eventual replacement at the helm of FIFA,” Bility was quoted in the statement gotten via Reuters.
