The League Management Company (LMC), has insisted that it is not aware
of the court order, stopping the Nigeria Professional Football League
(NPFL).
Justice I.I Kunda of a Plateau State High Court, had delivered the
ruling on Wednesday, in a suit brought by Giwa FC seeking reinstatement
to the NPFL.
Kunda stated that the LMC and Nigeria Football Federation (NFF),
should not continue with the league, until his earlier order reinstating
Giwa FC was followed.
However, the LMC said they have only been inundated with calls about the news.
“The League Management Company (LMC) has been inundated with sundry
calls and enquirers regarding a piece of news being circulated that
Plateau State High Court, Jos has made an order stopping Nigeria
Professional Football League (NPFL) until the reinstatement of Giwa FC
to the League,” a statement from the league body said.
“For the avoidance of any doubt, LMC states categorically, that it
has not been served with any such order and is consequently unable to
comment on this matter. If such an order is at any time in the future
produced or served on it by due process of law, LMC wishes all our
Clubs, footballers, fans, partners and all Nigerians to be reassured
that it shall take all steps appropriate in the circumstances to protect
the integrity of the NPLF.
“Accordingly, the LMC states that the operation of. NPFL proceeds apace as scheduled and unhindered in any manner whatsoever.”
