Nigeria Premier Football League club Abia Warriors have suspended Technical Adviser Imama Amapakabo and Chief Coach Bethel Oji after the team’s recent poor results.
The club announced the decision in an official letter signed by chairman John Sam Obuh on May 11, 2026.
According to the club, the suspension followed alleged acts of insubordination by the two coaches during the FA Cup semi-final against Ahudiyannem FC and the league game against Kun Khalifat FC of Owerri, which ended in a 2-0 defeat.
Abia Warriors said the coaching crew failed to follow instructions and advice from the management concerning changes to the team line-up in both matches.
The club added that the actions of the coaches led to defeats that embarrassed the club and the people of Abia State.
Both officials have now been suspended from all club activities while investigations continue.
Abia Warriors also confirmed that former Super Eagles goalkeeper Ike Shorunmu and his assistants have been asked to take charge of the team immediately until further notice.
The club advised the suspended coaches to cooperate fully with the investigation panel whenever they are invited.
