President of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick has asked the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Solomon Arase to arrest Factional President of the NFF, Mr. Chris Giwa over the crisis rocking the soccer federation.

In the petition signed by his lawyer, Festus Keyamo, Amaju Pinnick demanded the arrest of Chris Giwa who went to court to seek the annulment of the election that brought in the incumbent NFF board. The petition read in part:

“In the last few days, one Chris Giwa has threatened to take over the occupation of the Headquarters of the Nigerian Football Federation, citing a non-existent court order in that respect.”

The petitioner further alleged Giwa has indeed taken steps to carry out his threat by attempting to force his way into the headquarters of the NFF on Friday, April 8.

“Kindly note that, there is no court order anywhere, mandating the said Chris Giwa to take over any office or duties of the NFF,” Pinnick stated in his petition.

The NFF Congress had at an emergency extra ordinary meeting held Wednesday in Abuja resolved that Giwa and his allies face the soccer federation’s disciplinary board. Some other members of the Giwa group were also ordered to appear before the NFF Ethics committee.
