Nfa, Sanction Kano Pillars And Their Fans Now! by beemex(m): 3:05pm On Jun 12, 2008
In the last quarter finals match of the Coca Cola Championship between Enyimba and Kano Pillars at the Abuja stadium, the fans of Kano pillars became violent after Enyimba scored their second goal two minutes to the end of the game. The goal would have meant Enyimba winning Kano Pillars 2-1 and progressing to the semis. But the fans of pillars seeing that it also meant the game of the show for their darling team, decided to rush into the pitch with stones, iron rods, sticks, knives and other dangerous weapons, beating Enyimba players as well as the referee and his assistants. It was gathered that the referee and his assistants were beating to the point of coma. It took the Nigerian police quite sometime to bring the situation under control. The match? of course it stands abandoned which was the original intention of the pillars fan. The annoying thing is the the NFA and NFL will not mete out a befitting sanction or punishment to the culprits and they keep encouraging us to be patriotic by watching our local league matches. The other day a referee officiating a match slumped in the pitch obviously, he was having an epileptic attack and it took the medics close to 20mins to evacuate him for medical attention. Tell me why soccer loving Nigerian should abandon the English Premier League and other European leagues where everything is controlled and world class and punishments are meted on erring clubs and players and come down to watching the Nigerian league where nothing works? NFA and the NFL needs to wake up from their slumber.
