The Referee who officiated the match
has also been suspended.
It was the NPFL Matchday 1 fixture
between Kano Pillars and FC IfeanyiUbah, and everything seemed to be going on
well until the referee allegedly disallowed a goal scored by FC Ifeanyi Ubah
shortly before the close 0f the first half before blowing the whistle for the
end of the half.
This triggered emotions by players
and fans of the Anambra side which eventually led to them abandoning the match.
Following the incident, the League
Management Company,LMC, has handed down fines and suspensions to those who
played a part in what it described as a show of shame.
A total of nine million, one hundred
and fifty thousand naira (9,150,000) was handed as fine to FC IfeanyiUbah, for
staging a walk-out, an act according to the league management body, is capable
of bringing the league to disrepute and causing serious security breach.
Aside the fine, three points and three goals
accruing from the match has been awarded to Kano Pillars.
