Panic as security agents invade Nigeria's IBB Golf Club over crisis

Posted : 18 March 2025

There is palpable tension in the air as operatives from one of Nigeria's security agencies, the Department of State Services (DSS), invaded and sealed off one of the finest golf courses, the IBB International Golf and Country Club, Abuja.


However, amidst the ensuing confusion, the President of the Nigeria Golf Federation (NGF), Otunba Olusegun Runsewe, has called for calm.


The IBB International Golf and Country Club, Abuja, has, over the years, been a prominent recreational and tourist attraction for golf enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.


The DSS sealed the club on Saturday following an internal leadership dispute that rocked the prestigious facility.


The closure on Saturday was allegedly aimed at disrupting an extraordinary general meeting, which was scheduled for the same day.


Runsewe, in a statement personally signed by him on Monday in Abuja, appealed to the public to remain calm, adding that it was a family issue that would be resolved soon.


He acknowledged that the NGF was aware that the closure had caused concern among its members and the golfing community.


The president stated that the situation was being monitored and would be addressed shortly.


“In view of the recent developments at the IBB International Golf Club, Abuja, I want to assure everyone that the issue will be resolved soon.


“IBB Golf Club is a family, and therefore, there is no issue that cannot be resolved.


“The NGF, under my leadership, has handled several similar issues in Kano, Ekiti, and Yola, and I assure everyone that this will not be an exception,” he said.


Runsewe urged all stakeholders to refrain from making public statements that could further escalate the issue, adding that the presence of DSS operatives was a sign that the situation was under control.
