"The Nationwide League One Secretariat presents the compliments of the Board and Management of the Nationwide League One to you and the Management of your State Football Association.

"The NLO Secretariat was disturbed to receive a petition against the Chairman of Cynosure FC on how he put a call across to the Chairman of Liberty Lions FC Calabar a day before his last league match in order to compromise the match against E-World FC, this was the same match that the chairman of Cynosure FC complained of because it did not favour his club.

"It was confirmed that the Chairman of Cynosure FC lobbied the Liberty Lions FC Chairman to speak with his fello indigene the president of E-World FC to assist him with the match but Liberty Lion FC declined that he is not ready to be part of his shenanigans.

"Sequel to the above, the NLO Secretariat acting on the rulebook has opened an investigation on both parties and will ensure the culprit did not go unpunished.

 "The Nigeria Nationwide League One will not tolerate any act that will bring the game of football into disrepute."
