Enyimba management suspend official for ref’s attack

By Daily Sports on September 14, 2016

Champions Enyimba have suspended team masseur Ifeanyi Kalu for attacking the referee during a league game at Niger Tornadoes at the weekend.

Ifeanyi Kalu has also been fined a month's wages following his actions and will not be part of the Enyimba technical area till further notice.

"Enyimba Football Club disassociates itself from his actions and condemns the behaviour in the strongest terms possible,” the club said in an official statement.

“Ours is a club built on discipline and respect for the opposition, the match officials and for the rules of the game and as such we have zero tolerance for anything in the contrary.

“Our uttermost stance is that our players and officials maintain a cool head regardless of provocation or other circumstances".

The statement added: "Mr Kalu has apologised for his actions, but he must face the consequences of his actions and hence will be fined a month's wages and suspension from the Enyimba technical area".

The club also wish to appeal the unwarranted red card given to midfielder Dare Ojo in the course of the incident on Saturday.

“We ask that the decision be reversed and the performance of the centre referee which we see as below par, reviewed,” stated Enyimba. (mtnfootball.com)
