Plateau United FC of Jos, Plateau State has won the 2016/2017 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL), their first-ever win, after amassing 66 points from 38 matches.
Below are the results of Match Day 38 fixtures played on Saturday:
Enyimba International 1-0 Katsina United
Plateau United 2-0 Rangers International
El-Kanemi Warriors 2-1 MFM FC
Abia Warriors 4-1 Rivers United
Akwa United 3-0 Kano Pillars
FC IfeanyiUbah 1-1 Lobi Stars
Nasarawa United 2-1 ABS FC
Remo Stars FC 0-1 Sunshine Stars
Niger Tornadoes 2-0 Shooting Stars FC
Gombe United 0-1 Wikki Tourists (abandoned).
With the results, Shooting Stars, ABS FC, Gombe United and Remo Stars have been relegated to the Nigeria National League (NNL).
Meanwhile, the match between Gombe Utd and Wikki Tourists FC of Bauchi, ended abruptly in Gombe as fans turned violent, protesting an own-goal by the home team.
The Gombe Utd fans, already feeling aggrieved over the poor performance of their club, went berserk when, in the 22nd minute of play, a header by the team’s player, Morris Chigozie, hit the back of his club’s net.
Chigozie, a central defender, had sent a back header to his goalie, meant for a pass, but the goalkeeper, Danjuma Husaini, was caught napping.
Already bottled up with annoyance, the fans saw the own goal as ‘deliberate arrangement’, aimed at making Wikki escape relegation, as such they started throwing sachet water and some substances into the field of play.
The ugly scenario deteriorated, forcing security agents to use teargas before securing the players and match official, who were hurriedly ferried out of the stadium to safety, thus ending the match abruptly.
Journalists that covered the match had their share of the violence as the windscreen of the car of one of them was smashed.
As at the time the match was abandoned, Wikki was leading by the lone goal.
