FC Taraba and Nasarawa United will complete their disrupted Match Day 35 fixture at the FIFA Goal Project in Abuja on November 4, according to the League Management Company (LMC).

The game will continue from the 81st minute.

Jolly Nyame Stadium, the venue of the disrupted game, has been banned for one year from hosting any Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) matches.

The LMC recommended that referees Ferdinand Udoh, Efozia P and Digori Tejiri be investigated by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) referees committee requesting they should be banned indefinitely.

The LMC imposed a fine of N5m on FC Taraba for fans’ encroachment onto the field of play and breach of security which led to the discontinuation of the match. Further to this, FC Taraba have been ordered to play their next three home matches at the FIFA Goal Project in Abuja.

The LMC also frowned at the conduct of the supporters club of FC Taraba and have subsequently banned them from all NPFL matches for the rest of the season while the club has been ordered to pay N250, 000 each to the two match officials, Udoh and Efozia who were assaulted.

In another ruling, El-Kanemi Warriors were fined N500, 000 for disorderly conduct of fans in their Match Day 34 fixture against Giwa FC in Katsina while the Match Day 36 fixture against Kano Pillars will be played behind closed doors.

Wikki Tourists coach, Abdu Maikaba, was also charged for breach of code of conduct for club managers following his unguarded comments after the Match Day 35 game against Giwa FC in Jos. The coach was fined N100, 000 and cautioned to desist from making comments that are capable of bringing the league to disrepute.
