Suspect in attack on NPFL match official reportedly in police custody

The individual identified as Ken has been apprehended by the police following an attack on a match official during the Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL, match between Warri Wolves and Kano Pillars. The assault reportedly took place at Southern Delta University Stadium in Ozoro on Sunday. Warri Wolves have asserted that they ensured sufficient security for the game and that the incident occurred subsequent to the referee's change and departure from the venue.

The club also claims to have offered aid to the injured official by intervening, administering first aid, and ensuring the necessary medical attention. They have, however, called for a transparent investigation, accountability for the perpetrator, and a fair hearing. The NPFL has yet to comment on the incident.
