he Jos Elephants were expelled from the NPFL by the LMC as a result of their failure to honour  three league  games.

They were banished to Ilorin following crowd trouble that marred their matchday 12 fixture against Enugu Rangers at Rwang Pam Stadium.

In letter sent to the LMC, Secretary of the Giwa FC, Samson Adamu  acknowledged  the decision but also notified the league management company of the clubs decision to reject the ruling and appeal same.

"We are in receipt of your letter of 20th May 2016. 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," Adamu  wrote in a letter to LMC Chief Operating Officer, Salihu Abubakar.
