The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has fined Kano Pillars N2 million following the misconduct of players and officials during their recent match against Nasarawa United.
The NPFL cited improper conduct, including a controversial statement from Kano Pillars' Media & Communications Directorate, which quoted player Ahmed Musa making disparaging comments about match officials.
Additionally, the league accused Kano Pillars of failing to control their team’s behavior, leading to a nine-match suspension for Ugochukwu Gabriel starting from matchday 10. Gabriel was penalized specifically for his unruly actions during the game.
The NPFL also warned Kano Pillars about future inflammatory statements, advising the team to use appropriate channels to file complaints. The league stated that a recurrence of such behavior could lead to even harsher sanctions.
Kano Pillars have 48 hours from the notice date to appeal these sanctions. The Sai Masu Gida, former NPFL champions, are now under scrutiny to ensure improved conduct in upcoming matches.
