Npfl horror match officials subjected to mob attack for over 70 minute
I'm not aware of any specific incident where match officials in the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) were subjected to a mob attack for over 70 minutes. It's possible that you may be referring to a different incident or league.
However, I can tell you that match officials in Nigeria, like in many other countries, have faced various forms of abuse and intimidation during matches. This can include verbal abuse, physical threats, and even violence.
In recent years, there have been several incidents of match officials being attacked or threatened during NPFL matches. For example, in 2020, the referee for a match between Enyimba and Kano Pillars was attacked by fans after the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) and the League Management Company (LMC) have taken steps to address these issues, including increasing security measures at matches and implementing stricter penalties for fans who engage in violent or abusive behavior.
It's important to note that violence and abuse towards match officials is unacceptable and can have serious consequences for the safety and well-being of the officials, as well as the integrity of the game.
