Mohammed said, “We believe in fair competition. Any breach must be addressed in line with regulations. It is not just about Nigeria—it is about the credibility of the tournament.”
While giving no predictions, he emphasized the importance of due process. Retaining integrity in international competition, he said, is essential. He also expressed hope that whatever decision is made, transparency and timeliness will be maintained.
