The NFF Disciplinary Committee has provided their decisions over the NPFL game between Enyimba and Doma in Aba.
According to a statement released on Tuesday, the committee said
“That the Referee testified before the Committee and admitted that the goal was scored from offside position, but had to change his decision after visiting the OB Van for fear of being lynched as he was at all times surrounded by the officials of Enyimba FC and hoodlums”.
The NFF Disciplinary Committee have overturned the 1-0 result of the game between Enyimba and Doma United to end as 0-0.
Enyimba scored a goal after 88mins which the AR raised his flag for offside and the referee agreed. However, after restart, Enyimba fans were said to have stopped the game from going on, forcing the referee to visit the StarTimes OB Van, which led to a change in decision from the referee which he was said to have made due to the tension around him.
The referee also testified to being forced to make his match report in the dressing room in the presence of Enyimba officials which made him limit his words.
Enyimba will not have the right to appeal the decision.
