Chaos erupts after controversial officiating in ABS, Doma United clash

Posted : 16 March 2026

A tense atmosphere surrounded the conclusion of the Nigeria National League Match Day 11 fixture between ABS FC and Doma United FC after a series of controversial officiating decisions triggered unrest among supporters.

The match, which was fiercely contested from start to finish, ended amid accusations from ABS supporters and players who claimed the centre referee overlooked multiple penalty appeals in their favour. The perceived decisions intensified frustration in the stadium as the game progressed.

Moments after the final whistle, the situation escalated when aggrieved fans surged toward the match officials in protest. Security personnel acted swiftly, forming a protective shield around the referees and escorting them safely to the dressing room to prevent any physical confrontation.

Attention also shifted to the conduct of Doma United’s coach, Lemmy, whose actions during and after the game reportedly drew criticism from spectators and match observers.

Witnesses alleged that during the chaotic scenes that followed the match, the coach was seen chasing after his opponent instead of focusing on safely guiding his players away from the tense environment.

Further claims from individuals at the venue suggested that prior to kickoff and during halftime, the coach distributed Doma United jerseys to some supporters within the stadium.

While several fans reportedly declined the gesture, others accepted the jerseys with the understanding that they would return them after the match.

There were also allegations that the coach expressed confidence about his team’s prospects, reportedly stating that Doma United had already secured qualification for the top flight regardless of the outcome of the match.

Observers have since questioned the optics of the situation, especially considering the coach’s previous association with ABS FC, a team battling to avoid relegation and desperately in need of points from the encounter.

The incident has sparked widespread debate among football stakeholders, with many calling on the relevant authorities to investigate the officiating decisions as well as the events that unfolded around the match.
