The Interim Management Committee (IMC) has suspended Shooting Stars’ camp commandant, Auwal Mohammed, for urinating on the pitch during their Nigeria Professional Football League game against Akwa United.
The Interim Management Committee announced the suspension of Mohammed via a letter addressed to the club on Tuesday.
In a viral picture shared on social media, Mohammed was seen urinating on the pitch before Shooting Stars’ match against Akwa United in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, on Sunday.
The camp commandant was however suspended from all NPFL-related activities for one year, while the club was also fined N500,000 for failing to control their official’s conduct.
