NFF Executive Committee member Effiong Johnson has accused referees of provoking violence at league venues by their ineptitude.
Effiong, chairman of the NFF's Security sub-committee, was enraged by the actions of the officials in Akwa Starlets' home game against Grays International in a Nigerian National League Division C game in Calabar.
Nicholas Joseph's 93rd-minute strike helped Akwa Starlets come away with a laboured 1-0 victory but Effiong, who is chairman of the Akwa Ibom State FA, was left seething.
