Speaking in Abuja at the weekend, the Chairman of Giwa FC opined that the draft Nigeria Football Federation Statutes must be amended in order grant football administration in the country the autonomy its deserves.
The ruling was based on another by a High Court in Jos
The LMC is also challenging the reinstatement of Giwa FC into the league by the Jos High Court sitting in Bukuru
The appointment is with immediate effect
The LMC, in its appeal filed by Chief Akin Olujimi (SAN), prayed the Court of Appeal to set aside the interim order of the Plateau State High Court, Jos
Giwa, who were expelled from the league after they failed to honour a total of three matches, have been restored to the league and their players could no longer feature for the clubs they were sent out to on loan after their expulsion
In a letter dated May 21, 2016 in response to the LMC Summary Jurisdiction Notice, the Secretary of Giwa FC, Samson Adamu, wrote to acknowledge the decision but also notified the LMC of its decision to reject the ruling and appeal same
This decision was contained in a tweet on the official handle of the LMC: @LMCNPFL
The club was banished to Florin by the League Management Company following crowd violence at the Jos township Stadium
The notice, signed by the Chief Operating Officer, Salihu Abubakar, charged the club for breach of Rule B13.25 of the 2015/16 NPFL Framework and Rules in that it failed to honour the Match day 16 fixture without a reason acceptable to the LMC.
The decision to ban Giwa and his co-travellers was taken by the Disciplinary Committee of the NFF at its meeting on Thursday
Speaking with NAN, the Media Officer of Akwa United, Uwem Ekoh, said there was no Giwa FC representative at the pre-match conference, an essential match condition
The Coach of Wikki Tourists, Abdul Maikaba, in an interview with NAN urged the LMC to apply the rules accordingly by awarding three points three goals to his side
The fines include the sum of N2 million, another N650,000 to offset the Match Officials expenses and N1 million to offset the expenses of Rangers International
According to available information, the factional members plan to storm the headquarters of the NFF, popularly known as the Glass House, after the meeting and take over leadership
The NFF Disciplinary Board, in a statement issued after its meeting in Abuja on Monday, adopted all sanctions earlier pronounced by the LMC
The club’s Media Officer, David King, was fined N100,000 for breach of Clauses 1.1 and 1.5 of the code of conduct for club officials.
Some supporters of the club disrupted the fixture severally by hauling dangerous objects on the field, aimed at the Second Assistant Referee, forcing the Referee to finally call off the match on the 74th minute
It was their first time in the club’s history and also sweet revenge after Plateau United defeated them last year to lift the trophy.
Plateau United had defeated Mighty Jets Feeders 2-0 in the semi-finals, while Giwa FC defeated Mighty Jets 9-8 on penalty kicks to qualify for the final
Nasarawa United Chairman, Barrister Isaac Danladi, expressed happiness with the development
