As per The Citizen, Yanga's current leadership, including president Said, has been ordered to step down from their respective positions.
The ruling, issued by the Kisutu Resident Magistrate's Court, declared that the current Board of Trustees, under the 2010 constitution, lacks the legal capacity to manage the club.
This mandate comes from a case filed on 4 August 2022 by plaintiffs Juma Ally and Geoffrey Mwapopo.
They were seeking the non-recognition of Yanga's Board of Trustees, which was established under the 2010 constitution, citing legal deficiencies as their reason for filing the case.
The court has now instructed the reinstatement of the board from the 1968 constitution, amended in 2011, to manage the club and organise new elections for board members.
It is believed the club's current Board of Trustees only found out the verdict once plaintiffs returned to court to enforce the judgement of their removal.
Yanga's legal director, Advocate Simon Patrick, has stated that while the club is aware of the ruling, they only found of about the case once they received the summons from the court.
"It is true there is such a judgment, but I must say that from the filing of the case, Yanga had no information and even when the judgment was made, we were unaware," Patrick said.

"We have even made effort to find out if the plaintiffs are members of our club, but we do not see their information on the list of our legitimate club members."
