Giwa FC appeals expulsion

Giwa FC of Jos has appealed its expulsion from the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) by the League Management Company (LMC) for failure to play three matches cumulatively in one season, a violation of Rule B13.28 of the NPFL Rules and Framework.
In a letter dated May 21 in response to the LMC’s summary jurisdiction notice, Giwa FC Secretary, Samson Adamu, acknowledged the decision but also notified the LMC of plans to appeal it.
The letter, addressed to LMC Chief Operating Officer, Salihu Abubakar, read in part: “We are in receipt of your letter of May 20, 2016 on the above subject matter. We hereby notify you that we do not accept any of the sanctions imposed on our club and further add that we elect to be dealt with by a commission.”
By this notice of appeal, Giwa FC will now appear before the relevant authority in the coming days to hear its appeal.
In the latest NPFL table released by the LMC, Giwa FC is placed 20th and other clubs have had the results of their games against Giwa FC cancelled.
