It is often heard about tension on the field during football matches. But what has happened in Nigeria is truly incredible.
The protagonist of the violent episode has been the president of a club that has come down to the playing field to hit the side referee.
Everything has happened in Nigeria, as has been said, and more precisely in Yahaya Surajo. The president of Kano Pillars FC came down to the field after the equalizer of Dakkada FC (1-1) in the 92nd minute and punched the winger.
As it is learned, as Sky has announced, after the threats for life, the referee has also decided to cancel the goal of the friendly team.
An investigation is underway into the incident, but it appears the president has been suspended by the local football federation.
Images of what happened immediately went viral on the internet and caused a lot of outrage about the president’s behavior. The arbitrator, from what is learned, seems to have been promised compensation.
DRAMA in Kano:
Kano Pillars Chairman, Alhaji Surajo Yahaya Jambul (On White) PUNCHED the Assistant Referee after Dakkada FC scored a late equalizer.
The goal was later chalked off after the Center Referee consulted the AR that was punched.
