Nigeria yesterday escaped the wrath of FIFA as Justice Ambrose Allagoa of the Federal High court sitting in Jos, Plateau State, withdrew the suit filed against the Nigeria Football Federation by the Chris Giwa-led faction.
FIFA had given Nigeria up till mid day today,
to put its football house in order or be banned…
At the sitting of the court yesterday, the
judge announced the dismissal of the suit following the withdrawal of the suit
by the plaintiffs.
Allagoa said, “The suit is hereby dismissed as
the plaintiffs have announced their intention to withdraw the case from the
court.”
Counsel for the plaintiffs, Mr. Ardzard
Habilla, said his client had to withdraw the case in the interest of Nigerian
football and the appeal of well-meaning Nigerians for an end to the crisis in
the Glass House.
He said, “My client is well aware of the
implication of another FIFA ban on Nigeria and has also listened to the appeals
from well meaning Nigerians to withdraw the case from court.”
