Nigeria Football Federation challenges high court declaration
The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, on Wednesday went to the Court of Appeal, Abuja to challenge a Federal High Court declaration that both
the NFF and Nigeria Premier League, NPL were not properly incorporated and therefore not known to the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The Federal High Court pronouncement was made on Friday, 20th January, 2012 as the Judge Donatus Okorowo delivered judgement in a case brought by former chairman of Nigeria Referees Association, Dr. Sam Sam Jaja over his disqualification from the NPL elections of May 8,
2010.
On Wednesday, the NFF filed a motion-on-notice for stay-of-execution
of the High Court’s judgement at the same High Court, while the body
filed a Notice of Appeal at the Court of Appeal, Abuja.
The motion on notice for stay-of-execution will be heard
on Thursday, the 2nd of February, 2012 at the Federal High Court, Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
