The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has imposed sanctions on three clubs: Abia Warriors, Katsina United, and Warri Wolves, due to security breaches and disciplinary offences during their home matches. Abia Warriors were fined ₦3.2 million for inadequate security during their match against Niger Tornadoes and for an official's attempt to disrupt the live broadcast.
Additionally, multimedia officer Chidera Favour Igwe has been suspended from all NPFL match activities for five matches. Katsina United received a ₦2 million fine for similar security failures during their match against Plateau United, including allowing supporters to encroach onto the field.
Warri Wolves faced the most severe penalties, with a fine of ₦4.2 million, a deduction of three points and three goals, and a requirement to play their next three home matches behind closed doors due to unruly supporter conduct during their match against Kano Pillars. All clubs have 48 hours to appeal their sanctions.
