NIGERIA'S Amos Adamu has been banned by the Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) for another two years.
The former CAF Executive Member was banned for three years in 2010.
A release made available on Tuesday read, the adjudicatory chamber of the independent Ethics Committee, chaired by Hans-Joachim Eckert, has decided to ban the former football official Amos Adamu for two years from taking part in any kind of football-related activity at national and international level.
The investigation into Mr Adamu was conducted by Dr Cornel Borbély, chairman of the investigatory chamber of the Ethics Committee, which resulted in a final report being submitted to the adjudicatory chamber on 2 December 2016. Adjudicatory proceedings were formally opened on 20 December 2016.
The adjudicatory chamber determined that, through his involvement in the organisation of an event in 2010, while being a member of the (then) FIFA Executive Committee, Mr Adamu violated articles 13 (General rules of conduct), 15 (Loyalty) and 19 (Conflicts of interest) of the FIFA Code of Ethics.
The sanction is effective from 28 February 2017, the date on which this decision was notified.
Recall the 63-year-old was a member of Fifa's executive committee for four years until 2010, when he was banned from all football activity for three years.
He was found guilty of asking for money in exchange for World Cup votes - an accusation he denied. Adamu's suspension expired in October 2013.
