The League Management Company (LMC) said it has reported the referees in
last Wednesday’s fixture between Shooting Stars of Ibadan and Warri Wolves to
the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that LMC had,
in a statement, said it had reported the three officials to the NFF Referees’
Committee.
“They were reported to NFF for their role in the
conduct of the rescheduled Match Day 7 fixture, a role which has been
considered inimical to the good of the league,’’ it said.
The statement said referee Francis Agbaegbu from Niger
State Referees’ Council and the two others were asked to explain their
performance in the match.
NAN reports that the two others are Assistant
Referees, Minisen Iyorhe from Benue State Referees’ Council and Garba Mesa from
the Yobe State Referees’ Council.
“They have been referred by the LMC to the Referees’
Committee of the NFA to explain their performance in the match played on
Wednesday, July 8 at the Lekan Salami Stadium,’’ the statement said.
It said further that the LMC also requested the listed
officials be dropped from further officiating in Nigeria Professional Football
League (NPFL) games.
“This will be until further investigation of their
performance in the match by the NFF Referees Committee,’’ the statement said.
NAN recalls that the three joins the list of match
officials who have been either investigated or dropped to lower leagues and or
rested for the remaining games of the season.
This
was after their performances were adjudged not to be good enough for the
Premier League.
