The BBC had shown a video showing Yusuf taking bribe from men posing as football agents to two Nigerian players.
The footage was captured by Ghanaian journalist, Anas Aremeyew Anas, in September 2017 and was broadcast by BBC Africa Eye.
Salisu is Super Eagles’ number two manager behind Gernot Rohr.
He has handled the home-based senior side and was billed to take charge of the Under-23 side.
