Nigeria Premier Football League disciplinary actions
Overview
The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has issued various sanctions against clubs following security breaches and misconduct during matches.
Warri Wolves faced significant penalties, including a total fine of N4.25 million and the deduction of three points and three goals, after an unauthorized individual assaulted a second assistant referee during a match against Kano Pillars. The club was also ordered to play three home matches behind closed doors and must identify the assailant for prosecution.
Separately, Abia Warriors have launched an appeal against a ₦3.25 million fine and a five-match suspension handed to their multimedia officer, Chidera Favour Igwe. The club denies allegations of broadcast sabotage, claiming the officer was merely requesting camera repositioning, and is contesting claims of a security breach during their fixture against Niger Tornadoes.
