The Digest:

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has indefinitely suspended referee Nyah Victor from all league duties following biased officiating in a Nigeria National League match. According to Daily Post, the official was found to have awarded an "unjustified penalty" during the Rovers FC vs Ekiti United clash in Uyo, bringing the game into disrepute.

Key Points:
  • Referee Nyah Victor suspended indefinitely by NFF's Referee Development Committee
  • The center official awarded an unjustified penalty in the Rovers FC vs Ekiti United match
  • The NFF investigation found action negatively affected the match outcome
  • Suspension covers all league matches and other football competitions
  • Nyah becomes the first referee suspended in the new NNL season
  • The decision aims to maintain integrity and fairness in Nigerian football
  • The committee emphasized that officiating must not bring the game into disrepute
When fairness becomes the casualty on the pitch, the true test of any league lies not in the games played but in the storms of accountability that follow questionable decisions.
