Pinnick Challenges Court Ruling Sacking Him As NFF President

Yesterday we brought you news that the Amaju Pinnick was sacked as the NFF President. Now, Amaju Pinnick and members of his Nigeria Football Federation board who were sacked Friday by a Federal High Court in Jos, have appealed against the ruling.

Besides appealing the ruling by Justice Musa Haruna Kurya, the board also filed for stay of execution. The ruling faulted the process which brought the Pinnick executive to power.

On Friday, Justice Kurya has upheld all the previous reliefs of the plaintiffs and has relisted the suit in the tussle for the NFF leadership.

The ruling leaves Chris Giwa as the substantive head of the federation pending the final determination of the suit.

In this light, Giwa has swiftly moved over to take over at the Glass House where he is billed to address the media later today.
