Amas Obasogie, the Nigerian international goalkeeper currently with Tanzanian Premier League club Singida Black Stars SC, has been suspended for three months pending an investigation into alleged match-fixing, the club confirmed in an official statement.
In a statement released by the CEO’s Office and shared via the club’s official social platforms on Friday, February 27, 2026, Singida Black Stars’ Disciplinary Committee said it had taken action against Obasogie “to allow investigation into match-fixing allegations.”
The same announcement also confirmed that midfielder Khalid Aucho was suspended for three months for “indiscipline and absenteeism from work,” though his case is unrelated to match-fixing.
The club’s statement asserted: “The leadership of Singida Black Stars SC, through the Disciplinary Committee, has taken disciplinary action against players Khalid Aucho and Amas Obasogie as follows. The club reminds all players and staff to uphold discipline, accountability, and respect for the club.”
Singida Black Stars have not yet specified which match or match events triggered the allegations, and no formal charges or detailed evidence have been made public by the club or by Tanzanian football authorities at this time.
According to reports, the disciplinary action followed a recent Tanzanian Premier League match in which Singida Black Stars conceded a late equaliser, a match in which Obasogie was said to have made an uncharacteristic error, though officials have not linked specific incidents to match-fixing definitively.
Obasogie, 26, has been a regular starter for Singida Black Stars since joining the club in 2025 after stints with Bendel Insurance FC in Nigeria and Fasil Kenema in Ethiopia. He has also featured occasionally in the Nigeria national team setup, including being part of the squad that finished third at the l2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The three-month suspension is provisional, a measure to facilitate an internal investigation and does not equate to a finding of guilt. At this stage, neither official match-fixing charges nor corroborated evidence has been presented publicly.
