In a statement released on Thursday, the club confirmed that the decision was taken by its Disciplinary Committee following preliminary internal findings related to alleged misconduct.
The suspension, the club said, is intended to allow a comprehensive investigation into the claims without interference.
Singida Black Stars noted that the allegations centre on suspected match manipulation, although no formal charges have been concluded at this stage.
The club stressed that Obasogie remains under investigation and will be afforded the opportunity to respond fully to the allegations in line with its disciplinary procedures.
The development comes shortly after Obasogie featured in a 1–1 league draw against Namungo, where he was named in the matchday squad.
The club also announced a separate three-month suspension for midfielder Khalid Aucho, though his case is reportedly linked to issues of indiscipline and absenteeism, not match-fixing.
Obasogie joined Singida Black Stars in 2025 and has since been a regular first-team player. He is also a member of the Nigeria national team, the Super Eagles, and was part of the squad that won a bronze medal at the Africa Cup of Nations 2025.
Neither the player nor his representatives have issued a public response as of the time of filing this report, while the club says further updates will be communicated at the conclusion of the investigation.
