a tense 1-1 draw, but what followed has cast a shadow over the event.

The NPFL investigation revealed that the home team failed to implement adequate security measures during this highly anticipated South West derby. This negligence culminated in a disturbing incident where Remo Stars’ assistant coach, Kamil Sulaiman, was attacked by Ikorodu City fans after the match.

As a result, the NPFL has handed down a stringent punishment: Ikorodu City will be required to play their next two home games behind closed doors, with no spectators allowed in attendance. This measure is part of a wider crackdown on ensuring safety and preventing further security failures in the future.

Furthermore, the club has been ordered to identify the individuals responsible for the assault on Coach Sulaiman and take legal action against them, sending a clear message that such behavior will not be tolerated.

In a separate but related matter, the NPFL has issued a warning to Shooting Stars’ head coach, Gbenga Ogunbote, following his controversial remarks about match officiating after his team’s 2-1 defeat to Ikorodu City. Ogunbote publicly criticized the officiating, sparking an inquiry by the league. After expressing regret for his statements, Ogunbote was told to issue a public apology, reaffirming the NPFL’s commitment to professionalism in all aspects of the game.
