A tense match between Kano Pillars and Shooting Stars descended into chaos after Shooting Stars scored an equalizer, prompting Kano Pillars officials and players to chase the referee in protest. The incident has sparked outrage among football fans and analysts, who have called for strict sanctions against the club.
Social media has been flooded with demands that Kano Pillars be banned from hosting home matches for the remainder of the season, deducted six league points, fined ₦30 million, and that three points plus three goals be awarded to Shooting Stars as compensation for the disruption.
“They should ban them from watching home matches for the rest of the season, deduct six points, fine them ₦30 million, and award three points plus three goals to Shooting Stars. SAD,” a fan tweeted.
The altercation highlights growing concerns about discipline and crowd control in Nigerian league football, as well as the safety of referees and officials on the pitch.
The League Management Committee (LMC) and the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) are reportedly reviewing the incident to determine appropriate disciplinary action. Analysts warn that failure to impose strict penalties could set a dangerous precedent, undermining fair play and league integrity.
Fans across the country have expressed disappointment at the incident, emphasizing that football should prioritize sportsmanship, professionalism, and respect for referees, rather than descending into chaos.
