The Nigeria Premier Football League has handed Shooting Stars a ₦1 million fine following crowd disturbances during the club's Matchday 13 fixture against Bendel Insurance at the Lekan Salami Stadium, Adamasingba, in Ibadan on Friday night.

The Oluyole Warriors claimed all three points with a 2-1 win on the night, but the result was overshadowed by reports that some supporters hurled objects onto the pitch during the match.

The NPFL ruled that Shooting Stars had violated the league's framework and rules as a result of their fans' misconduct, and the club was subsequently sanctioned with the seven-figure fine.

Shooting Stars have a 48-hour window from the date they received notification of the punishment to lodge a formal appeal against the decision.

The disciplinary action is part of a broader crackdown by the NPFL this season, as the league has repeatedly moved against clubs whose supporters have been involved in unruly behaviour at stadiums across the country.
