The Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) once again witnessed another violent and embarrassing display on the football pitch.Â
Â
During an NPFL fixture between Kano Pillars and Dakkada, Yusuf Maigoro put the home team in front with a nice goal in the 22nd minute.
Â
Towards the end of the game, Kano Pillars Chairman, Alhaji Surajo Yahaya Jambul was seen approaching the touch to punch the Assistant Referee after Dakkada FC scored a late equalizer.
Â
Â
The goal was later chalked off after the Center Referee consulted the Assistant Referee that was punched.
Â
This is the latest evidence of violence in the NPFL as just months ago referees were beaten.
Â
Back in May, a center referee received a heavy blow from an MFM fan during a game against Enugu Rangers that ended in a draw.
