A Federal High Court sitting in Jos, Plateau State has sacked the Nigeria Football Federation President, Amaju Pinnick.
The Court also ordered Chris Giwa to resume office as president of the football federation.
The duo of Adama Yahaya and Obinna Ogba had approached the court to re-list the suit against Pinnick which they withdrew after the intervention of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Another hearing has been fixed for Saturday, April 30 but Pinnick has been asked by the court to vacate the office of the NFF president pending the final hearing.
Pinnick and Giwa on Wednesday, January 20 almost exchanged fisticuffs at the National Stadium Package B where a peace meeting was called by Youth and Sports Minister Solomon Dalung
