Sunshine Stars sanctioned for fans behaviour
Unwavering in its campaign to curb violent conducts in the local
league, the Nigerian Premier League (NPL) has ordered Sunshine Stars FC of
Akure to play its next two home matches behind closed doors with effect from
week 13.
This was revealed in a statement by Tunji Babalola, the acting
Executive Secretary in reaction to the violent conduct by Sunshine fans against
Heartland FC.
“Sunshine Stars FC supporters were harassing the away team in
their game against Heartland FC over the weekend thereby violating the rules
and regulations of the NPL,” the statement said.
“The Supporters of Sunshine Stars FC are hereby warned to desist
from such attitude or NPL will be obliged to invoke stiffer sanction on the
erring club(s)”.
Supporters of 3SC were equally issued a warning by the NPL.
Ahmed Kadiri of Enyimba International FC was also handed a one
(1) match ban for unruly behaviour in their match against Warri Wolves FC.
In addition to missing their next away match against Kaduna
United FC, Ahmed will pay a fine of N100, 000.
