The court of Appeal
panel led by Justice Barika together with Justices Okon Abang and Justice
Banjoko this afternoon 19th January 2024 at 12:30pm sacked the entire NFF Board
by setting aside and striking out all dubious orders obtained by the board on
the 29th of September 2022 to conduct the purported NFF illegal election of
September 30th in Benin City.
The court struck out
all processes concerning the NFF appeal and further ordered that the processes
be deleted from all systems of the court forthwith. Parties in the matter were represented by
the following counsels-NFF Chief Okutepa SAN represented by Peace Omiri and
Barrister Arnold from his chambers. While PFAN TASK FORCE- was represented by
Dr.Celsus Ukpong, Chief Rumson Baribote and Mary Waribo.
In the
light of the above any sacked NFF Board member parading itself after the
ongoing AFCON in Ivory Coast would be risking criminal contempt proceedings. Details
later.
