The Disciplinary Committee of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has charged Kwara United FC for breaching its Framework & Rules in the course of their Match Day 22 rearranged fixture on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, at the Kwara State Stadium, Ilorin.

The Ilorin club failed to provide adequate and effective security, resulting in unauthorized persons gaining access to restricted areas.

Kwara Utd also failed to ensure the proper conduct of their supporters, leading to the harassment of, and injuries to, match officials and officials of Rivers Utd.

Furthermore, Kwara Utd supporters gained access to restricted areas and assaulted the match officials and Rivers Utd officials, resulting in bodily harm.

Kwara Utd supporters thereby brought the game into disrepute by exhibiting unsporting behaviour.

Kwara Utd have been fined N2m for failing to provide adequate and effective security and N1m for failing to ensure the proper conduct of their supporters, totalling N3m.

The club will further pay a fine of N2m for assaulting the match officials and Rivers Utd officials, as well as another N1m for unsporting behaviour capable of bringing the game into disrepute.

Kwara Utd will also pay a fine of N1m for holding the match officials and Rivers Utd hostage for several hours after the match and another N2m as compensatory costs for treatment and damages to match officials and Rivers Utd officials.

Three points and three goals shall be deducted from Kwara Utd's accrued points and goals for assaults on match officials.

Kwara Utd will also play their remaining home matches at the MKO Abiola Sports Arena in Abeokuta.

The club has also been directed to identify the supporters who assaulted the match officials and Rivers Utd officials for arrest and prosecution, with evidence of compliance.

Kwara Utd have 48 hours from the date of notice to appeal these sanctions.
