Referees allowed to take bribes in Nigeria

FOOTBALL referees in Nigeria can take bribes from clubs - but that should not influence their decisions on the pitch, a football official insisted yesterday. Fanny Amun, the acting secretary-general of the Nigerian Football Association, said that bribery was common in the Nigerian game, but that it should be allowed. "We know match officials are offered money or anything to influence matches and they can accept it," Mr Amun said. (Is this one of the 'lessons' the US is supposed to learn from other countries?)
