The board of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has invited the Head Coach of Shooting Stars, Gbenga Ogunbote for an investigative hearing over comments he made after their southwest derby defeat to Ikorodu City on November 17 in Lagos, http://Afrosport reports.
The League governing body has considered some of his words a breach of the code of conduct for NPFL Coaches, and the former Sunshine Stars gaffer faces sanctions if found culpable.
The NPFL statement containing details of the invitation read “We have taken note of certain unguarded public statements attributed to you following the Matchday 12 fixture between Ikorodu City FC v Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC), held on November 17, 2024.
“Your remarks, as reported, appear to contravene the league’s Code of Conduct for Coaches and Officials by casting aspersions on the integrity of the match officials and the league’s governance structure.
“These actions are considered detrimental to the reputation of the NPFL and its stakeholders.”
The former Enugu Rangers coach is to appear before the NPFL Disciplinary Committee on Tuesday, December, 3 by 10 am at the league’s secretariat in the Jabi district of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
