NPL matches hold despite court ruling

This followed Friday’s ruling by a Federal High Court in Abuja that declared the NPL as an illegal board.

The court actually ruled on a case brought by Dr Sam Sam Jaja against the NPL and NFF over his disqualification from the NPL election on May 8, 2010.

Reacting to the court’s ruling, acting executive secretary of the league board, Tunji Babalola told SuperSport.com that clubs should go ahead to honour their Week Four matches slated for Saturday and Sunday.

“We (NPL) have not been served the court ruling.

“We expect to be served the paper by Monday after which we would study the ruling to determine the next line of action to take.

“In the meantime, we wish to inform all the clubs in the Nigeria Premier League to honour their league fixtures for this weekend as scheduled and not use the court ruling as an excuse not to go for their matches.

“Any club that fails to honour its fixture would have itself to blame,” Babalola explained.
