The court has ordered the reinstatement of GIWA FC back to the Nigerian Professional Football League.
The
Federal High Court sitting in Bukuru, Jos, Plateau State, has granted
the prayers of Giwa FC seeking it’s reinstatement to the Nigerian
Professional Football League.
In a judgement delivered by
vacation judge, Justice I.I. Kunda, on the 12th August, 2016, the League
Management Company and the Nigerian Football Federation were restrained
from stopping Giwa FC from playing matches in the Nigerian Professional
Football League pending the determination of the motion on notice.
The
Judge also ordered the first and second respondents to reschedule all
the matches that Giwa FC failed to play as a result of its purported
expulsion from the league.
The LMC was also ordered to
immediately return all the players of Giwa FC that were summarily
released and signed by other clubs.
Justice Kunda fixed the 23rd of August, 2016, for the hearing of the motion on notice.
The saga continues….
