NFF Says There Is No Court Order To Arrest Pinnick

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has denied that there is an order to arrest its president, Amaju Pinnick.

Pinnick has been accused of misappropriating $8.4million belonging to the federation.

Ijeoma Ojukwu, the presiding judge at a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, had ordered the arrest on Monday when Pinnick and other officials being tried were absent.

But in a statement issued by its communications department, the NFF said the warrant was no longer in effect, as counsel to the accused informed the court that his clients were on national assignment in Egypt, and the case was subsequently adjourned till September 26.

“The NFF officials have continued to deny any wrong-doing and have insisted the case brought by SPIP is baseless, mere persecution and an abuse of court process, as the Federation has a pending matter in the same court challenging SPIP’s jurisdiction.
