WABU announces expulsion of Remi Aboderin

West African Boxing Union (WABU) has announced the expulsion of Remi Aboderin as its General Secretary of the Nigeria Boxing Board.

This press release also announced the suspension of all WABU activities with Aboderin declared not a part of it.

The decision follows some alleged corruption practices by the Nigeria Boxing Board of Control’s Secretary-General.

Members of WABU have accused Aboderin of gross misconduct, an accusation the WABU president has denied vehemently, insisting “they want to destabilize the boxing body”.

The African Boxing Union (ABU) is expected to appoint an interim General Secretary in the coming days to oversee the subsequent activities of the Union.
