The League Management Company (LMC) has
expressed shock at the news of the armed robbery attack on Kano Pillars
football club contingent along the Abuja-Lokoja Road and consequently
ordered an indefinite postponement of their Match Day 1 fixture in
Owerri against Heartland FC.
Chief
Operating Officer of LMC, Salihu Abubakar said the LMC had been in
touch with officials of Kano Pillars, monitoring the progress of the
injured players and doing everything possible to stabilise the team. He
said all other fixtures of the Glo Premier League Match Day 1 will hold
as scheduled but that the star match will now be a double-header in Port
Harcourt between Dolphins FC and Kwara United and between Sharks and
Sunshine Stars.
Whilst
we sympathize with the Club and strongly condemn this crime, Clubs are
advised that the Match Day 1 fixtures will hold as scheduled except the
Matches in Port Harcourt which will now serve as a double-header and
will be televised live on Saturday.”, Abubakar said.
