A Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) committee recommended that match officials involved in the two matches should be given life bans.

Plateau United Feeders and Police Machine went into the matches level on points, with promotion to the lowest tier of the Nationwide League Division at stake.

Feeders scored 72 of their goals in the second half, while Police Machine reportedly scored 61 times after the break in their game.

The results meant that Plateau edged above Police Machine on goal difference.

The NFF said in a statement: "The NFF have accepted the recommendations and they would be communicated to the clubs, the state FA's, CAF and FIFA.
.
"We will publish all the names of players and officials with their photographs and details."
Receiving a life ban is definately not a good thing at all for any player. It is always very sad for the career of that person.
