For disgracing Nigerian football in the eyes of the world following the scandalous scoreline recorded in the matches they played, the leadership of the Nigerian Nationwide League has called on the Nigeria Football Federation to hammer a life ban on all those involved in the disgraceful scoreline that scandalized the nation.
Police Machine scored an impossible 79-0 against Akurba FC , while Plateau United Feeders scored a 67-0 win over Bubayero FC.
NFF Executive Committee member and chairman of the Nigerian Nationwide League, Ahmed Kawu, said that the league’s recommendation is for the stiffest possible penalty.
“A committee was set-up, which met last Monday, carried out extensive investigations into the shameful incident and submitted their report to the board of the NFF,” he said.
“The board will look at it, make their decision and send it to the National Sports Commission for ratification.
“But our recommendation as the Nationwide League board is for everyone found to have been involved in that shameful incident to be given a life ban.
“We should have a zero tolerance for match fixing, and we have to show others that they cannot even think about it next time.”
