The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), has appealed against the decision of a Jos High Court, to re-list a case brought against the football house by Obinna Ogba and Yahaya Adama.

Chris Green, who is the chairman of the NFF Technical and Development Committee, explained that they decided to appeal because the matter was out of time and the plaintiffs had earlier discontinued the case voluntarily.
“We went to court simply to appeal against the re-listing of the case,” Green said.
 
“There is no order that we need to appeal against. We are only appealing against the re-listing of the case for hearing, because for us, the circumstances have changed and so many things are no longer the same. We are saying the fellows who went to court can only file a fresh suit because this one can no longer fly.”
