NFF SUSPENDS REFEREES NASIRU AND ASSISTANT FROM OFFICIATING IN NIGERIA NATIONAL LEAGUE.

The Refereeing Development Committee of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, has expelled centre referee, ZAHARAUDEEN NASIRU from officiating in the Nigeria National League, NNL.

 NASIRU’S sacking was necessitated following his poor officiating in the matchday 17 encounter between Jigawa Golden Stars and Sporting Supreme, where he awarded a goal that had been scored through a handball in favour of Jigawa Golden Stars.

 A memo released by the body revealed that NASIRU’S  assistant, USMAN AUWALU,  was also expelled and  their sacking takes immediate effect.

 The NFF has clamped down on poor officiating in the NNL this season, sanctioning erring match officials.
