The Court also ordered Chris Giwa to resume office as president
of the football federation.
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 Goodluck Jonathan.
Before the court ruling, many Nigerians had demanded the
resignation of Pinnick from office who blamed him for the failure of the Super
Eagles to qualify for the AFCON 2017, same way they missed out on the 2015
edition.
Pinnick had played down on the resignation calls, describing
them as unnecessary.
It is yet to be seen how the world football governing body,
FIFA, will react to the new twist in Nigerian football.
FIFA opposes football matters being taken to civil courts.
