By Ime Bassey

The Disciplinary and Organising committee of the Nigerian Football Federation has ordered Kwara United and Sunshine Stars to replay their aborted week 12 game behind closed doors in a yet to be decided date.

Both teams were fined N2 million for the incident while Sunshine Stars team manager, Gabriel Aboruwa was suspended for two years.

It will be recalled that on March 3, 2012 at the Ilorin Township Stadium, both teams abandoned their league game with score-line at 1-1 after violence broke out from the stand with few minutes left on the clock.

Players from both ends  suffered minor injuries according to reports which said that Gabriel Aboruwa, Team Manager of the Akuri side, stepped on to the pitch of play alleging he was he was attacked by rival fans.
