Giwa FC Disobey NFF; Appear At Rwang Pam Stadium To Face Wikki Tourists
Published: May 01, 2016
Giwa FC of Jos, who were banished to play their next three home games at the Kwara State Stadium by the LMC, surprisingly appeared at the Rwang Pam Stadium for their game with Wikki Tourists of Bauchi in flagrant disobedience to sanctions leveled against them by the league organizers.
Club officials who do not want their identities revealed told allnigeriasoccer.com they only carried out the orders of their employer Ambassador Chris Giwa and could not have done otherwise.
Though they were not allowed entry into the Stadium by the Stadium management at the time of filing this report, all 18 players selected for the game including the entire coaching department headed by Gbenga Ogunbote were still outside the premises.
Meanwhile, Wikki Tourists of Bauchi are already in Ilorin for their match-day 15 tie with Giwa FC.
Giwa only on Wednesday failed to show up for the continuation of their game with Enugu Rangers at the National Stadium in Abuja thereby incurring more financial sanctions as the organizers awarded the three maximum points to Rangers who were leading 1-0 until the game was disrupted in the 74th minute by stone throwing fans in Jos days earlier.
Following the new development, the Plateau Elephants, as the team are fondly called may incur fresh sanctions.
The proprietor of the Club is claiming to be the legitimate President of the Nigeria Football Federation and has been carrying out parallel decisions to those of the FIFA recognized board led by Amaju Pinnick.
