Referee Francis Agbaegbu from Niger State Referees\u2019 Council and the two Assistant Referees, Minisen Iyorhe from Benue State Referees\u2019 Council and Garba Mesa from the Yobe State Referees\u2019 Council have been referred by the League Management Company (LMC) to the Referees\u2019 Committee to explain their performance in the match played on Wednesday, July 8 at the Lekan Salami Stadium in Ibadan.<\/p>\n

The LMC also requested that the listed officials be DROPPED from further officiating in NPFL games pending further investigation of their performance in the match by the NFF referees committee.<\/p>\n

The three joins the list of match officials that have been either investigated or dropped to lower leagues and or rested for the remaining games of the season for performances adjudged not to be good enough for the Premier League.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are determined to instill discipline and make our Referees offer their best possible quality officiating in every match even if it means having just a few that meets the standard. We are working in sync with the NFF Referees Committee in this regard \u201d, declared the LMC Chairman, Mallam Shehu Dikko<\/p>\n\n\n\n
