The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Disciplinary Committee has thrown out Enyimba’s appeal against the three points forfeited to Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) champions-designate Rangers International.

Recall that Enyimba International of Aba abandoned their Match-day 35 in Enugu against Rangers FC following a late penalty awarded to the host.

The Oriental derby sold out as over 35,000 fans crammed into the 20,000-capacity Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium to witness which of the two teams would pick the three points, but a late penalty awarded to Rangers in the extra time led to Enyimba’s fans trooping into the main-bowl to hold up proceedings and the visitors failed to continue the match.

The NFF also upheld the fine of N2m imposed on the People’s Elephant by the NPFL.

The decision was contained in a memo sent to the former NPFL champions.

“That the Committee adopts the Summary Jurisdiction (Form 16) contained in paragraph 1 and upholds the One Million Naira (N1,000,000) fine against Enyimba FC for failure to ensure the proper conduct of their players, officials and supporters.
