Nigeria Premier League side, Sunshine Stars have accepted the recent sanctions slammed on the club by the League Management Company (LMC).  

The club’s president, Otunba Tajudeen Akinyemi communicated the club’s position via writing the decision to accept the recent disciplinary measures imposed on the club including three points deduction for repeated offence of fans’ unruly conduct and hostility towards match officials.

In their response to the Summary Jurisdiction notice issued by the LMC last Friday, Tunde Ogunja, who signed on behalf of the club acknowledged that all the infractions listed by the LMC were valid but pleaded that the points deduction be revisited.

Sunshine Stars management also apologized for the incident noting that it “regretted the action of an isolated miscreants occasioning harm perpetrated (sic) against the Referee and one of the Assistants on their way to the dressing room after the conclusion of the match….”

“It must be stated that the Management of Sunshine Stars FC condemn in strong terms this type of barbaric attitude and will never associate itself with such group of isolated individuals who are out to destroy our prestigious league with conducts that are capable of bringing the league into disrepute,” Ogunja wrote in the letter to LMC.

The club also assured the LMC that it had already acted in collaboration with the State Football Association and security agencies to identify and apprehend the culprit, pledging to ensure that he is prosecuted.

Chief Operating Officer of the LMC, Salihu Abubakar said the response is being studied and thus, “I cannot make any comments at this point.”
