The League Management Company, LMC said on Friday that it would mete the necessary sanctions to Kano Pillars following their fans' unruly behavior in a mid-week match against Enyimba International FC of Aba.
Pillars' fans were said to have started hauling missiles onto the pitch when Enyimba scored the winning goal in the match played at the Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano.
Chairman of the LMC, Shehu Dikko told the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja that the organization was waiting to receive the report of the match before it would take the necessary actions the offending team.
Dikko told NAN in Abuja that "once the report comes in and we confirm the correct situation, relevant penalties as prescribed by the rule book will be applied.
“We will definitely act when we get the reports but from our premium art finding including confirmation from Enyimba, though security was breached, Enyimba mba or match officials were never attacked.
“Enyimba’s driver that got hurt was not in the stadium and he was the driver of the pilot car.
“He chose to go outside to bring his car inside the same time the fans were leaving and he was hit by stones or so.
“The big issue is that we had an unprecedented crowd for a midweek game and some of them messed up.
“Only the Enyimba’s driver was affected and it was outside the stadium, as both teams and officials were kept in the dressing rooms for safety until the stadium was evacuated,’’ he said.
