NFF Suspends Referees in NPFL; Barau FC Appoints Interim Coach

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has suspended three referees in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) due to controversial decisions in recent matches. The referees, Moham B. Tuta, Ben Japhet, and Ikechukwu Taiwo, were sanctioned by the Referees Development Committee for their performance in matchday 8 fixtures.

The NFF reaffirmed its commitment to discipline and fair play. In a separate development, Barau FC named Rabi U. Tata as the interim technical adviser, with Ladan Bosso stepping aside temporarily for family reasons.

The club's media director, Ahmad Hamisu Gwale, confirmed the appointment ahead of their match against Kano Pillars on matchday 9.
