The Nigerian Nationwide League, NNL has recommended life ban for everyone involved in the disgraceful scorelines that scandalised the nation.
Police Machine decimated Akurba FC 79-0 while Plateau United Feeders raced to a 67-0 win over Bubayero FC.
NFF Executive Committee member and Chairman of the NNL, Ahmed Kawu, told KickOffNigeria.com that the league’s recommendation is for the stiffest possible penalty.
“A committee was set-up, which met last Monday, carried out extensive investigations into the shameful incident and submitted their report to the board of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF,” he said.
“The board will look at it, make their decision and send it to the National Sports Commission, NSC, for ratification.
“But our recommendation as the Nationwide League board is for everyone found to have been involved in that shameful incident to be given a life ban.
“We should have a zero tolerance for match fixing, and we have to show others that they should not even think about it next time.”
