El-Kanemi Warriors were also fined N1 million for their supporters' act of throwing objects onto the field of play, and another fine of N1 million was imposed on the club for failure to ensure the proper conduct of their supporters, which resulted in damage to the away team's vehicle.


The club is to pay half a million Naira in compensation to Ikorodu City for the damages to their vehicle.


The last of the rulings on the incident is an order for the club to implement a more effective match day security framework and crowd control measures, the details of which must be submitted to the NPFL within seven (7) working days from the date of this notice.


In accordance with Rule C26, the club is required to provide a written response, indicating acceptance of the ruling or electing to appear before a disciplinary panel.
