Court sacks Pinnick as Nigeria Football Federation president, reinstates Giwa
Today, a Federal High Court sitting in Jos, Plateau State sacked Amaju Pinnick and ordered Chris Giwa to resume office as president. 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 Jonathan.
Before the court ruling, many Nigerians had demanded for Pinnick's resignation. They blamed him for the failure of the Super Eagles to qualify for the AFCON 2017, same way they missed out on the 2015 edition.
