Organisers of the nation’s second tie professional league, NNL have suspended Jigawa’s striker, Mohammed Alim for the rest of this season and the whole of the 2024/2025 season.
This was one of the several decisions taken by the NNL on Sunday after the Dutse show of shame where Jigawa defeated Abuja based Sporting Supreme by 2-1.
Mohammed was seen in a video that has gone viral using his hands to throw the ball into the net, even as the referee who has since been suspended by the NFF allowed it as a goal.
The NNL in their decision noted that the player dubiously used his hands in a manner that brings the the game to disrepute.
It would be noted that the NFF had in a swift reaction expelled Ref Nasiru from Katsina State from football.
The NFF in a statement said the referee would be expelled from officiating in Nigerian football.
