Shooting Stars Sports Club, 3SC striker, Gbolahan Salami, has been charged by the Nigeria Premier League, NPL for improper misconduct in one of last weekend’s opening day of the season.
The 19-year-old marksman has been subsequently handed a two-game suspension by the Premier League. It was gathered that the suspension begins this weekend, meaning that Shooting Stars will face Zamfara United in an away game of Week Two without the two-goal hero in their first game.
According to a statement from the Premier League, Salami attempted to attack Sunshine Stars head coach, Gbenga Ogunbote, after he cancelled a six-minute strike by Akombo Ukeyima.
“Gbolahan Salami displayed indiscipline by attempting to attack Sunshine Stars coach Gbenga Ogunbote after he equalised in Ibadan. He has been suspended for two games and this will start from his team’s next game this Sunday against Zamfara United,” the statement said.
The striker, who switched from Sunshine Stars to Shooting Stars in the off-season, “used indecent words on the coach when he ran to the Sunshine Stars technical area after he equalised.”
