Amas Obasogie has been cleared of match-fixing allegations after an investigation by Singida Black Stars. The Tanzanian club reversed his suspension following its internal probe.
Just last month, NRTC reported the goalkeeper had been banned for three months. The announcement came after concerns over suspicious incidents during a match.
However, the club later reviewed all available evidence, and investigators ultimately found no proof of gambling or match manipulation.
