Security forces have taken over the main office of the crisis-hit Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) in the capital, Abuja. Soldiers and riot police are manning the entrance of the building, it adds.
It follows a court ruling on Thursday, confirming that NFF head Amaju Pinnick lost the top post to Chris Giwa in elections in September 2014.
On Friday, Mr Giwa and his team - armed with the court ruling - took control of the NFF offices and said he would start work today.
The NFF has since appealed against the ruling, arguing that Pinnick is still the football boss.
It is not clear why police have taken control of the building.
