Following rowdy scenes occasioned by pitch encroachment leading to the physical assault of Remo Stars Coach Sulaimon Kamil, the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has fined Ikorodu City FC and ordered a two-match closure of their stadium to fans.


In a separate development, the league body also issued a stern warning to all NPFL club officials and their coaches to refrain from using unsavory expressions about the league while granting media interviews.

It was Shooting Stars Coach Gbenga Ogunbote who received a specific reprimand for his outbursts after one of the club’s games against Ikorodu City FC in Lagos on Matchday 12.


The NPFL noted that during an inquest, Ogunbote expressed regret and apologized for his outburst and was directed to issue a public apology.


Ikorodu City was charged for breaching Rules B13.52, B13.18, and C9.


In a summary jurisdiction notice, the NPFL charged Ikorodu City for failing to provide adequate security, which resulted in unauthorized persons gaining access to restricted areas and assaulting Remo Stars Coach Kamil, in breach of Rule B13.52 of the Framework and Rules.


Ikorodu City was also charged for failing to ensure the proper conduct of their team and supporters, in breach of Rule C9.


The club was fined a total of ₦3,000,000, ordered to identify and prosecute the fan who assaulted Coach Kamil, and instructed to play their next two consecutive home games without admitting fans to the stands.


The sanction stated: “An order to identify and prosecute the individual(s) involved in the assault on Remo Stars Coach, Mr. Sulaimon Kamil.


A report detailing the progress of this action must be submitted to the NPFL within seven (7) working days of the date of this notice.”


“In accordance with Rule C26, you are required, within 48 hours of the date of this notice, to either submit to the summary jurisdiction and the sanctions contained herein or elect to be dealt with by a disciplinary panel,” the NPFL ruled.
