We prove that if the f-sectional curvature at any point of a ( 2 n + s ) -dimensional metric f-contact manifold satisfying the ( &kappa, &mu, ) nullity condition with n >, 1 is independent of the f-section at the point, then it is constant on the manifold. Moreover, we also prove that a non-normal metric f-contact manifold satisfying the ( &kappa, ) nullity condition is of constant f-sectional curvature if and only if &mu, = &kappa, + 1 and we give an explicit expression for the curvature tensor field in such a case. Finally, we present some examples.
