The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Refereeing Development Committee has suspended referee Abdulrasheed Jimoh and assistant referee Adamu Zakari indefinitely following a controversial decision during Sunday’s Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) encounter between Rangers International and Kwara United.
Sports247 reports that the officials were sanctioned over what the committee described as the cancellation of a “validly scored goal” by Kwara United during the match.
The encounter, played on Sunday, ended in a 1-0 victory for Rangers, with Victor Chimezie scoring the decisive goal in the 40th minute to secure all three points for the Flying Antelopes.
However, the disallowed Kwara United goal has now attracted disciplinary action from the NFF, with the refereeing body taking a firm stance on the officiating decision.
The indefinite suspension of Jimoh and Zakari underscores the seriousness with which the committee views the incident and raises further questions about the standard of officiating in the domestic league.
The decision is another reminder of the importance of accurate match officiating, particularly in closely contested NPFL fixtures where a single refereeing call can have a significant impact on the outcome.
