An Ado Ekiti Chief Magistrate’s Court presided over by Mr. Adesoji Adegboye, sentenced the six football chiefs to 14 days imprisonment without an option of fine for disobeying an order to appear in court in the suit challenging their legitimacy.

Other Ekiti FA board members jailed are Chief Ariyo Amos, Mr. J.I. Fatukasi, Mr. Ibidun Isaac, Mr. Ajibewa and Mr. Aregbesola.

Apparently miffed by the refusal of the defendants in the suit to appear in court despite being summoned repeatedly, Chief Magistrate Adegboye insisted that “the sanctity of the court must be protected at all times” hence the order to commit them to prison.
