Billionaire club owner Ifeanyi Ubah handed 10-match ban

By Daily Sports on April 1, 2016

Owner of FC Ifeanyiubah, Dr Ifeanyi Ubah, has been handed a 10-match suspension from venues of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL).

The League Management Company (LMC) took the latest decision on Thursday after finding Ubah guilty of encroaching the field of play in his club’s match against Heartland on March 23 and further “assaulting Heartland player Ebele Obi.”

The league body, which oversees Nigeria's top-flight, further announced that four of the 10-match ban to Ubah is “suspended for a probationary period till the end of the season.”

Ubah was also fined the sum of N2.5 million to serve, and is expected to write “a letter of apology and an undertaking to be a good ambassador of the Nigerian league.”

However, Ubah has until 5pm local time (6pm CAT) on Saturday to appeal LMC’s ruling.

The LMC had earlier on Wednesday reprimanded Ubah for his action until an independent video emerged on micro-blogging social media, Twitter, showing the Heartland goalkeeper, Obi, being assaulted by Ubah and his security personnel.

Also, the league company has banned “self-procured security services” from match venues except those sanctioned by it.

The Heartland goalkeeper was handed a six-game ban on Wednesday.
