A letter titled Re: Suspension Notice, signed by Ifetayo Gbenga Ifebogun, General Secretary, BOT and made available to P.M.Entertainment, stated that after the initial two months’ suspension placed on the chairman for him to defend himself and payment of an outstanding sum owed Dominic Osiegbe a.k.a. Domking, a deceased colleague as well as disobedience to constituted authority, among other things, Martins was ordered to go on an indefinite suspension for “violating instructions and directives given to you by the BOT of our noble association, after a review of your two months’ suspension, you are hereby suspended indefinitely as chairman VCOAN, Lagos State.”
