Bendel Insurance FC Apologizes Over Coach's Incident

Bendel Insurance FC has formally apologized to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) and the Nigeria Football Referees Association (NFRA) regarding an incident that occurred during a match against Plateau United on March 28, 2026, at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium. The incident involved head coach Kennedi Boboy, whose actions were described as "ugly" and "unfortunate." The management of Bendel Insurance FC expressed their disgust and condemned Boboy's behavior, emphasizing that such actions would not be tolerated.

They cautioned Boboy and his crew against repeating similar actions in the future, insisting on maintaining discipline and adherence to the law. The club management also advised all involved, including players and officials, to learn from this unfortunate incident and to avoid over-arguing with match officials during games, whether at home or away, as it would not change the referees' decisions and could lead to aggravated punishments.
