Harrison Jalla, Chairman of the Task Force, Professional Footballers Association of Nigeria (PFAN), confirmed that the court struck out all processes related to the NFF appeal and ordered their deletion from all court systems.
Parties in the matter were represented by NFF’s Jibrin Okutepa SAN and PFAN TASK FORCE’s Dr. Celsus Ukpong.
