Rio Talks To Billionaire Business Owner Dozy Mmobuosi About Sheffield United Takeover & Scrutiny

Billionaire Businessman Dozy Mmobuosi is planning to become the new owner of Sheffield United if his bid is accepted by Abdullah bin Musaid Al Saud, and if the EFL are happy with personnel checks. Rio Ferdinand & Joel Beya had many questions for Dozy who owns the company Tingo which has supplied over 30 million smart phones to Nigeria. Tingo has other businesses attached to it’s name and one of them being Tingo Airlines which has been heavily scruitinized for not having flown any customers commercially. However, in the last few hours via ‘The Star’ it has emerged there is no evidence of Tingo Airlines (TA) ever obtaining a UK Air Operator’s Certificate - the document, issued by the Civil Aviation Authority, which permits holders to run “commercial or air transport” flights. Our job on FIVE is to ask the questions the fans in Sheffield and in the football world would like to know.
