The League Management Company (LMC) has slammed Sunshine Stars and Shooting Stars N.5m fine, following the unsportsmanlike acts that characterized the Week 28 clash between the two teams in Ibadan last weekend.

The LMC on Saturday night announced varying bans for individuals and groups found culpable of going against the law in the South West derby in which Shooting Stars scraped a 2-1 win over their bitter rivals.

“Shooting Stars & Sunshine Stars have been fined N500,000 each for their general conduct capable of bringing the #GloNPFL to disrepute.”

The LMC wrote on its official twitter handle late on Saturday. It continued: “Shooting Stars are charged for the conduct of their supporters capable of bringing the #GloNPFL to disrepute.

 “Sunshine Stars have also been charged for the failure of their players & officials to show due respect to the decisions of the match officials in the ‪#‎GloNPFL game at Shooting Stars.”

The LMC stated that Shooting Stars & Sunshine Stars are to either accept the decisions or elect to appeal to the LMC within 48 hours.

The LMC also declared that Sunshine Stars player, Dayo Ojo, was fined N50,000 for shoving a ball boy during the #GloNPFL match at Shooting Stars.

While it was worse for Sunshine Stars skipper, Sunday Abe who was slammed with six-match ban for head-butting and kicking the referee during the game.

Both Sunshine Stars players, Dayo Ojo and  Sunday Abe, also have 48 hours to appeal or accept the decisions.

After the game last week, Sunshine Stars of Akure claimed they were held hostage at the Lekan Salami Stadium in Ibadan minutes after losing 2-1 to Shooting Stars.

After being tied at 1-1 with eight minutes left on the clock, the Oluyole Warriors were awarded a late penalty, their third in the match which was converted by Tope Orelope to secure the 2-1 victory for the Ibadan-based team.
