Former Nigeria Football Federation President and CAF Executive Member Amaju Melvin Pinnick has said the final verdict on the botched African Cup of Nations qualifier between Libya and Nigeria will be out before the weekend, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Disciplinary Committee of the African soccer governing body had initially said the decision would be made known on Wednesday.

Pinnick, while speaking on Arise TV, said they are not taking the matter lightly and adequate measures will be taken to forestall future occurrences. "CAF is taking this issue very seriously".

“CAF President Patrice Motsepe personifies integrity and Pan-Africanism.

" We deliberated on it in our Executive Committee meeting. It was a subject of intense discussion.

“We pointed out the fact that this is very serious because anything could have happened to the Super Eagles.

“So, CAF are taking the matter seriously and we’re not leaving any stone unturned.”
