EX-QPR Dominic Iorfa - Fresh plot against Iorfa
By EMMA NJOKU Daily Sun (Nigeria) September 4, 2007


No fewer than eight key players of Lobi Stars have threatened to dump the team if the club’s Vice Chairman, Dominic Iorfa ceases to be on the management board.
The development follows fresh plot by some faceless people to remove the former Super Eagles forward from the key position.

Only recently, Iorfa has become the target of certain individuals in Benue State, who are allegedly scheming for the position of the club’s chairman. The high point of their scheming was the recent malicious and image damaging report posted in a popular sports website, where Iorfa was alleged to have claimed that he was untouchable and could not be removed as the chairman of club.

However, in the newly constituted management board of the club, the former BCC Lions of Gboko pacy forward was returned as the vice chairman of the club, while Governor Gabriel Suswam heads the new board.
Daily Sunsport rather scooped that a fresh plot to remove Iorfa has begun as those scheming for the club’s top job are alleged to have cooked up fresh accusations against him.

Our most reliable source revealed that those behind the plot have channeled their petitions through the Benue State House of Assembly, where the former Queens Park Rangers of England striker is expected to make appearance this week, to clear himself of the allegations levelled against him.
Iorfa, we learnt, feels embarrassed by the whole episode and is already considering resigning his position in annoyance.

Meanwhile, a prominent player of Lobis Stars, who pleaded anonymity has hinted that he and about seven first team players of the team have make up their minds to dump the club once Iorfa is out of the team whether by design or resign.
“I can tell you categorically that once Iorfa is out of Lobi Stars, that will be the end of the team because about eight of us who are key players of the team will leave immediately,” the player revealed.

“Most of the players in the team are here because of Iorfa because he is like a father to us. He played the game to the highest level and understands our position at all times.
“He gives us professional advice and does not joke with our welfare. Most of the players from Benue State, who are doing well in other teams are all coming home to play for the team because of Iorfa. If they frustrate him out of the club, we will all leave the club for those behind his exit,” the embittered player stated.

He added that Benue State indigenes should celebrate Iorfa rather than crucify him because of what he has achieved with the club. According to the player, Iorfa’s position as a board member of the NFA is an added advantage to the state. Nigerian Daily Sun
