Tanzanian Premier League club Singida Black Stars suspended Obasogie for three months on Friday for allegedly manipulating the outcome of a CAF Confederation Cup match as well as a domestic game.

“The goals conceded in the CAF Confederation Cup match against Flambeau de Centre and the NBC Premier League fixture against Namungo FC were the result of footballing errors, not deliberate misconduct.
“I accept full responsibility for my performance; however mistakes on the field must not be mistaken for match manipulation.”
The former Bendel Insurance shot stopper also pledged his loyalty to Singida Black Stars SC, saying the club means a lot to him.
“I’m committed to serving the club with honour and contributing to its success,” he added.
