Nigeria NPFL: IMC Slams Bayelsa United With Three Points Deduction

The Interim Management Company IMC of the Nigeria Professional Football League NPFL has ordered a three points deduction from Bayelsa United.

The swift response was coming on the heel of the assault on an Assistant Referee at the Samson Siasia Stadium in Yenegoa by a fan of the club.

The sanction followed a review of the official match report of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) MatchDay 5 fixture between Bayelsa United and Doma FC on Wednesday, February 1.
