The suit (FHC/ABJ/CS/1317/2018) instituted in 2018 by the group asked the court to grant them the authority to organise the league, but after several postponements, it was finally quashed as the judge ruled that the case lacked merit.
Based on the arguments by both parties, the court in its landmark ruling said it was needless to go into substantive issues brought before it after the preliminary objections of the plaintiffs were granted.
Following its objection, the court ruled that the case was not properly filed, hence the reasons for striking out the case which lacked merit, as people joined in the case, were not entities who derive legal recognition on their own.

The Nigerian Basketball Federation will find out on Tuesday (today) if the men’s topflight basketball league will tip-off this year,
The PUNCH reports.
The Federal High Court in Abuja is expected to pass a verdict on a case stopping the NBBF from holding the men’s Premier Basketball League.
The NBBF has been unable to organise the Premier Basketball League in the last three years due to a court injunction after former NBBF board members dragged the current board to court.
NBBF president, Musa Ahmadu-Kida, will be anxiously waiting for the final decision, knowing that it will have a major impact on the federation’s plans in 2021.
