Caf has suspended the president of the Togo Football Federation
|
Caf has summoned the rival factions claiming the right to the presidency of the Togo Football Federation (TFT) to meeting in Cairo this week.
The position became vacant two weeks ago after president Adaglo Tata Avlessi was banned for eight years for alleged bribery.
Gabriel Ameyi, vice-president of the TFT, declared himself the legitimate heir to the deposed president but his claim has been vigorously contested by Teyi Lawson-Gallus.
Gallus was elected by a rival group to lead the TFT on the grounds that he is the eldest of the executive committee.
Sports Minister Gilbert Atsou set up a committee on Friday to help find an amicable solution to the crisis.
The government has also banned all executive members of the TFT from entry into the federation's offices until the stalemate has been resolved.
The country's league has also been suspended until further notice.
