How to fight corruption

Football referees in Nigeria can
take bribes from clubs but should not allow them to influence
their decisions on the pitch, a football official said on
Friday.

Fanny Amun, acting Secretary-General of the Nigerian
Football Association, said bribery was common in the Nigerian
game.

"We know match officials are offered money or anything to
influence matches and they can accept it," Amun told Reuters on
Friday…

"Referees should only pretend to fall for the bait, but make
sure the result doesn’t favour those offering the bribe," Amun
said.

Here is the full story, and thanks to David (not Tom) Williamson for the pointer.
