The club has been given Thursday, October 1, 2026, as the deadline to disclose the identity of the player to the relevant authorities for further disciplinary proceedings.

The ₦5 million fine represents the immediate sanction imposed on Ranchers Bees FC over the breaches recorded in connection with the Matchday 6 fixture.
The development underscores the disciplinary authorities’ emphasis on maintaining proper conduct and adherence to competition regulations during league matches.
Ranchers Bees FC will now have to comply with both aspects of the decision — payment of the ₦5 million fine and the submission of the identity of the player involved in the alleged physical attack.
