Abuja – The League Management Company (LMC) has announced the immediate expulsion of Sunday Etefia, the Dakkada FC Assistant Coach.

Etefia was indicted for assaulting Assistant Referee 11, Sani Baba, at the end of the Matchday 4 fixture against Remo Stars in Uyo on January 2.

The LMC further recommended to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to review the coaching licence of Etefia, saying that he has ” failed the threshold to be a coach under the NFF Licence.”

The LMC which made the pronouncements after conclusion of preliminary investigation on the assault on an Assistant Referee, also fined Dakkada FC a total sum of N3.5m and ordered that the club’s next three home matches be played at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin.

While the LMC fined the Club N3m for failure to provide adequate security in the course of the match, it also ordered it to pay N250,000 each to the Assistant Referee and General Manager of Remo Stars for medical expenses and may include any additional verifiable and authenticated medical costs.

While ordering Dakkada to play a minimum of three home matches at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City, the LMC ruled that the club would only be permitted to return to its home stadium upon receipt of a satisfactory report or update on the formal report to the Police and prosecution of the official involved in the alleged assault.

The prosecution must be authenticated by the LMC legal team and compliance unit.

The club must pay the stipulated fines within seven working days and have a two points deduction which shall be suspended for a probationary period of the remainder of the season.

Both the club and the charged official have 48 hours from the date of the notice to submit to the summary jurisdiction or elect to face a disciplinary hearing.

The penalties are for the Club’s breach of Rules B13.52 and C9 following the incidents of the MatchDay 4 fixture.

The LMC also recommended a review of the performance of the match Officials , including the Match Commissioner, Dr. Mrs. N Anyanwu for her failure to duly report the incident of assault on the Assistant Referee 11.

” Curiously, the Match Commissioner identified the perpetrator as a fan whereas it was a club official, ” the LMC said.

Also recommended for a performance review is the Match Referee, Mathew Tanimu from Plateau State for his poor match management and failure to timely submit the match report , given the serious incident. (vitalnews)
