NBBF has regrettably announced that holding the Men’s Premier League may not dunk off soon due to the ongoing suit brought against it by an unknown entity ‘Management Board of Kwese Premier Basketball League’ and one Ibrahim Sa’ad (Chairman, Gombe State B-BALL Association)

fronting for Gombe Bulls, Kwara Falcons Basketball Club (who have recently shown intention to withdraw from the court) and the Nigeria Basketball Premier League Owners’ Council.

NBBF was dragged to Court on the 6th November, 2018 by proxies of the former NBBF Board attempting to stop the current NBBF Board from organizing the Premier Basketball League.

The suit which is an injunction seeking to stop the NBBF from organizing the Nigerian Premier Basketball league (FHC/ABJ/CS/1317/2018) held a court sitting on the 13th October 2020 and has continued to be a painful clog in the federation’s wheel of progress.

In order to avoid contempt of Court, the NBBF will refrain from organizing the Premier Basketball until the determination of the substantive suit.

Kida said, “We are not unmindful of the concerns of our players who are being affected by the absence of the league but sadly, most agitators have found it easier to blame us for not being concerned about their plight which is the easiest thing for them to do due to  ignorance.”
