When Passion Turns Violent: A Wake-Up Call for Nigerian Football

By Nasiru Ibrahim

The recent sanctions on Kano Pillars should serve as a wake-up call to everyone involved in Nigerian football. The beautiful game can only thrive in an atmosphere of peace, order, and respect, not in violence and chaos.

No matter the passion or emotion that comes with football, violence is never the solution. Every act of aggression, whether by fans or officials, tarnishes the image of our league, drives away sponsors, and discourages families from coming to the stadium to enjoy live matches.

While clubs and supporters must take responsibility for their actions, referees also have a critical role to play in maintaining fairness and calm on the pitch. Their decisions can shape the mood of a match, which is why officiating must always be consistent, impartial, and transparent. A good referee helps to ease tension, while poor officiating can easily inflame tempers.

The NPFL’s decision to review the referees who handled the Kano Pillars and Shooting Stars game is commendable. It sends a clear message that accountability applies to everyone from fans and clubs to match officials.

Going forward, the league and the NFF should invest more in referee training, mental conditioning, and protection, ensuring that officials are well-prepared to handle pressure situations. At the same time, those who fail to uphold professional standards should face appropriate sanctions or retraining.

Football is a game of passion and unity. Let this incident remind all stakeholders clubs, supporters, referees, and administrators that discipline, fairness, and mutual respect remain the true pillars of progress for Nigerian football.

NPFL Slams Kano Pillars with ₦9.5m Fine and Points Deduction over Match Violence

By Nasiru Ibrahim

The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has imposed heavy sanctions on Kano Pillars following the violent scenes that trailed their Matchday 8 fixture against Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) at the Sani Abacha Stadium in Kano.

The encounter, which ended in a 1–1 draw, was overshadowed by crowd trouble after irate home supporters invaded the pitch, attacking match officials and some players of the visiting team. The incident drew widespread condemnation across the football community and prompted immediate action from the league organisers.

In its ruling, the NPFL found Kano Pillars guilty of several offences, including failure to provide adequate security, assault on match officials, and misconduct by supporters. As punishment, the club has been deducted three points and three goals from their season tally.

The league also announced a total fine of ₦9.5 million for various breaches of its regulations. The breakdown includes:

₦1 million for failure to provide adequate security.

₦1 million for throwing dangerous objects onto the pitch.

₦1 million for failure to control the conduct of supporters.

₦1 million for actions capable of bringing the game into disrepute.

₦2 million for assault on match officials and players.

₦2 million as compensation for damages and treatment of affected individuals.

₦1.5 million as compensation to match officials at ₦250,000 each.

In addition to the fines, the NPFL ordered that all remaining home matches of Kano Pillars this season be played outside Kano, with Katsina designated as their temporary home ground. The decision aims to ensure safety and deter future acts of hooliganism.

The league further directed a review of the referees who officiated the game, noting that they may be stepped down pending the outcome of a thorough investigation into the officiating and the circumstances surrounding the violence.

Reaffirming its commitment to fair play and discipline, the NPFL warned that any club found guilty of similar acts in the future would face even stiffer sanctions.

Kano Pillars, one of Nigeria’s most successful football clubs, have been given the right to appeal the decision within the stipulated period.

Missed Penalty Costs Wikki Tourists Victory in Bauchi Thriller

By Nasiru Ibrahim

Wikki Tourists once again failed to secure maximum points at home after being held to a 1–1 draw by Kwara United in their Matchday 8 encounter of the 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League season, played at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium, Bauchi.

The hosts took the lead in the 23rd minute through Jonathan Mairiga, who unleashed a stunning 30-yard drive beyond the reach of the Kwara United goalkeeper. However, the visitors levelled shortly before halftime when Gidado Taoheed capitalised on a defensive mix-up to make it 1–1.

Wikki had a golden opportunity to reclaim the lead in the 72nd minute after being awarded a penalty, but Abdullahi Usman’s effort was saved, and his rebound went straight into the hands of the goalkeeper. Mairiga continued to threaten throughout, with one of his efforts rattling the crossbar, while Klinshak Longbak and Nasiru Jibrin also impressed in midfield.

For Kwara United, Gidado Taoheed and Ozor Philip stood out, helping the visitors maintain composure under pressure. The match, played before an energetic crowd, was keenly contested from start to finish.

The result leaves Wikki Tourists in 15th place with nine points from eight matches, while Kwara United occupy 13th position on the same points but with a better goal difference.

After the match, Kwara United coach Ashifat Sulaiman (Brazil) commended his players’ efforts but expressed disappointment over not securing the maximum three points. Having been part of the team’s recruitment, he promised improvements following their poor performance in continental competitions.

Wikki Tourists’ head coach Abdu Maikaba vowed to fix the team’s lapses ahead of their next fixture away to El-Kanemi Warriors in Maiduguri. Meanwhile, tension rose among home supporters, who voiced frustration over the team’s second consecutive home draw.

Elsewhere, Abia Warriors defeated El-Kanemi Warriors 2–0, Enyimba lost 1–0 to newcomers Kunkhalifat FC, and Nasarawa United extended their lead at the top of the table with a 2–1 victory over Enugu Rangers. In Kano, Pillars and Shooting Stars played out a 1–1 draw.
