Amaju’s NFF appeals Giwa’s court victory

It was drama at the Court of Appeal in Jos, Plateau State on Thursday as the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) faction led by Melvin Amaju Pinnick, finally appealed against a High Court order ordering it to vacate office and hand over to the Ambassador Chris Giwa-led team.
The order, it would be recalled, was given at the Jos High Court on April 8, 2016, after it was re-listed following the appeal of the plaintiffs.
The order was specific, ordering the present leadership of the NFF to hand over to the Chris Giwa-led board until otherwise determined, following an earlier suit against the election of the Amaju Pinnick led executive committee.
The NFF team on Thursday, was led by a lawyer from the Festus Keyamo Chambers and included NFF in-house counsel, Okey Obi.
On the other hand, the Chris Giwa team was led by Habila Ardzard, in a new twist to a case that was hitherto tagged non-existent by a faction.
After a careful consideration of both parties submission on Thursday, the matter was adjourned to June 28, 2016 by the judges presiding over the matter.
