El-Kanemi Warriors were fined N3.5 million by the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) for infractions committed during their match versus Ikorodu City pertaining to security.
Additionally, for the rest of the season, the NPFL has mandated that fans not be allowed into Maiduguri’s El-Kanemi Warriors Stadium.
Supporters of the El-Kanemi Warriors allegedly vandalized an Ikorodu City vehicle following the game, according to the Naijatrial. The club’s fans also hurled objects onto the playing field at several points throughout the match.
Either appearing before a disciplinary panel or submitting a written statement showing acceptance of the verdict is expected of the club. The NPFL’s crackdown on clubs for security breaches has been increasing as of late.
