NNL set to punish offenders in abuja replay debacle

We brought you a story concerning the Mayhem that broke out in the Nigeria Nationwide League rescheduled fixture between Ranchers Bees and Kwara united,  see here

Well, All9jafootball has it on good authority that the NNL has promised to met out stiff penalties to all those found wanting in yesterday's show of shame.


NNL general secretary Lawrence Katken promised categorically that the body will do all in her power to get to the root of the matter and punish all offenders accordingly. 



It's not only me that's unhappy, I'm certain nobody is happy over the ugly scene at the replay match between Ranchers Bees and Kwara United in Abuja on Friday.

"It's unfortunate that the encounter once again failed to produce an undisputed winner on the field of play.

"We've been studying what happened on match day aimed at handing the required punishment to the offenders.

"Of course, the rules are there and it'll be applied to the latter no matter who is involved.

"We've received the match report though the chairman is yet to see it as he has not been around but rest assured that a decision will be taken as quickly as he is able to go through the report.

"We're already in the thick of weekend so I can't say outright that a decision will be taken today (Saturday) or tomorrow (Sunday) but a decision will be taken as quickly as possible.

"We want to get the matter sorted out quickly so as to enable us to concentrate on the upcoming league season,"

The side that comes out on top regarding the boardroom decision will qualify for next year's glo NPFL alongside 3SC, Gabros and Wikki Tourist.
