Embattled Football Kenya Federation (FKF) President Nick Mwendwa has emerged from the cold to seize control of the federation's offices at Goal Project in Kasarani.

Mwendwa stormed into the FKF premises early Tuesday accompanied by chief executive officer Barry Otieno and a host of other officials.

The development comes barely a week after he gave a subtle hint he was planning to regain control of the country's football.

The Mwendwa-led administration was ejected from office last November by Sports Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed who subsequently constituted a caretaker committee to run football in the country.

The CS said her decision was informed by grave allegations of graft facing the expelled office.

Amina's decision led to Kenya's suspension from the international stage by the world football governing body, Fifa.

Fifa demanded Mwendwa's reinstatement as a precondition for lifting the ban.

On September 8, Mwendwa caused a stir when he penned a letter to Fifa President Gianni Infantino, expressing his desire to reclaim FKF leadership.
