Following the conclusion of the game, supporters of the club reportedly assaulted the match official for disallowing a goal in the 88th minute.

The League Management Company (LMC) have come out to issue a sanction on Remo Stars for the incident.

According to a report on the official NPFL website, Remo Stars will pay a total of six million naira in fine and their next three home games will be played in Oshogbo.

The fine is heftier than that of Plateau United who were fined three million for a similar situation.

According to the LMC, Hon. Kunle Soname the Chairman of Remo Stars FC will pay a million Naira for his interview after the encounter.
