NPFL: NFF suspends referee Jimoh, assistant Zakari indefinitely over Kwara United goal

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 Kwara United and Rangers.

 

The officials were sanctioned over what the committee described as the cancellation of a “validly scored goal” by Kwara United during the match.

 

The decision has prompted disciplinary action against both officials, who will remain suspended indefinitely as the NFF reviews the incident.

 

The suspension underscores the federation's position on officiating standards and the need for match officials to uphold the laws of the game in domestic competitions.
