NNL suspends Jigawa’s ‘volleyball striker’ for one season

Organisers of the nation’s second tie professional league, NNL have suspended Jigawa’s striker, Mohammed Alim for the rest of this season and the whole of the 2024/2025 season.

This was one of the several decisions taken by the NNL on Sunday after the Dutse show of shame where Jigawa defeated Abuja based Sporting Supreme by 2-1.


Mohammed was seen in a video that has gone viral using his hands to throw the ball into the net, even as the referee who has since been suspended by the NFF allowed it as a goal.


The NNL in their decision noted that the player dubiously used his hands in a manner that brings the the game to disrepute.


It would be noted that the NFF had in a swift reaction expelled Ref Nasiru from Katsina State from football.
The NFF in a statement said the referee would be expelled from officiating in Nigerian football.
