Ahmad Ahmad, president of Confederation of African Football (CAF), has been arrested in Paris, capital of France.
He was arrested on Thursday morning at a hotel in Paris, where he was staying ahead of the FIFA congress.
Following his arrest, Amaju Pinnick, the vice-president, will assume his duties for a transitional period of four months before convening an elective special assembly.
The arrest is reportedly linked to the contract unilaterally broken by CAF with Puma, the German equipment manufacturer, to engage with the company technical steel, based in La Seyne-sur-Mer, France.
He had defended himself last April and gave the assurance that all decisions were transparent.
