The
League Management Company (LMC) says is in receipt of letters of
apology written by the two Sunshine Stars players who were earlier in
the week sanctioned for their behaviour during the Match Day 4 league
game against Dolphins and will not take further actions against them.
Prince Aggrey and Ebenezer Odunlami were
on Monday banned for one league game each and fined N50, 000 for
indecent exposure and behaviour capable of bringing the league to
disrepute for stripping to their inner briefs to celebrate their teams
second and winning goal against Dolphins.
The LMC had also in line with the
Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) framework and regulations
allowed the two players 48hours to either submit to the decision and or
elect to be dealt with by a special LMC commission.
However, following the separate letters
of apology from the duo, the LMC has commended the players for accepting
responsibility and admonished them to be of good behaviour going
forward.
Salihu Abubakar, the LMC Chief Operating
Officer said, “the two players have written to accept full
responsibility for their bad behaviour and have accordingly apologized
to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), the LMC, our broadcast
partners; Supersport, the owners of the club; the Ondo Government, their
employers; the Ondo State Football Agency, Supporters of Sunshine Stars
and the general public”.
Abubakar said the players must serve the
one match ban and pay the N50, 000. The LMC, he said has further
advised all Club Management to discharge their technical
responsibilities to players and other personnel by providing continuous
enlightenment on codes of conduct and other rules of the game.
