The Minister of Sports, Solomon Dalung, has accused the International Association of Athletics Federations, IAAF, of ‘blackmail’ after the body gave Nigeria an ultimatum to refund the money it was paid in error.
The federation said Nigeria was overpaid by $130,000 in 2017 but the AFN officials have failed to back the excess despite several efforts by IAAF to get back the said money.
Dalung who speaking to Journalist at the 2019 Okpekpe Road Race held on Saturday in Edo State, questioned the claims made by IAAF, claiming that Nigeria did nothing wrong.
