Fifa Trouble Nigeria
Fifa said in September that further NFF election complications would lead to Nigeria being banned from global football until the next Fifa Congress in May 2015
Nigerian media reported Chat212 FM told sports minister Tammy Danagogo that unless the latest court order is reversed, Fifa will act on Monday. As yet, there have been no signs of that.
Justice Ambrose Allagoa ruled last week that the elective congress of the NFF should not be recognised as the Jos High Court had put in place 11 days earlier an order that the elections could not be held.
This injunction was brought by two members of the previous NFF executive led by Chris Giwa, which was stripped of its authority after elections that took it to power were deemed invalid by Fifa.
The court order was ignored by the NFF, which went ahead with their congress and the Pinnick-led executive was put in place.
Justice Allagoa has ruled, however, that the original injunction remains in place and therefore the 30 September congress should not be recognised.
