Tanzanian club Singida Black Stars SC have cleared Super Eagles goalkeeper Amas Obasogie of match-fixing allegations following an internal investigation into his performances in recent matches, Soccernet.ng reports.
The club also confirmed that Obasogie’s three-month suspension has been lifted after investigators found no evidence linking the Super Eagles shot stopper to any form of match manipulation.
Singida Black Stars explain investigation into Amas Obasogie
In an official statement signed by the club’s Chief Executive Officer, Jonathan Kassano, Singida Black Stars revealed that the investigation began after concerns were raised by fans, stakeholders, and club officials over a series of mistakes made by the goalkeeper in recent games.
According to the club, those concerns prompted the disciplinary committee to open a preliminary investigation into reports that suggested suspicious play.
The club statement read:
“Singida Black Stars Club would like to inform the public that there was concern among the management, fans and stakeholders following repeated mistakes in some recent games, including against Flambeau du Centre (CAF Confederation Cup), Pamba Jiji and Namungo FC (NBC Premier League).”

Club confirms Obasogie errors were ‘technical mistakes’
After reviewing the incidents and considering Obasogie’s defence, the club concluded that the errors which triggered suspicion were simply technical mistakes during matches.
“After initial investigation, the player's defense and a clear statement from the Club's General Manager, it has been determined that there is no evidence of match-fixing or random play. The incidents that raised concerns have been determined to be technical errors within the game,” the club stated.
Suspension lifted as Super Eagles goalkeeper apologises
Singida Black Stars also disclosed that Obasogie apologised for the situations that led to the controversy and promised to improve his performances moving forward.
“Player Amas Obasogie has apologised for the circumstances that gave rise to these interpretations and has promised to work on the shortcomings that emerged to improve his level and restore the trust of fans and stakeholders.”
Following the outcome of the investigation, the Tanzanian club confirmed that the earlier decision to suspend the Nigerian goalkeeper for three months has been reversed.
“In light of this, the Club has decided to reverse the previous decision to suspend the player for three months, and the player has been allowed to continue his duties with the team,” the statement concluded.
The development brings relief for Obasogie, who had earlier denied any wrongdoing and insisted the allegations stemmed from mistakes made during matches rather than deliberate actions.
