The League Management Company has been urged to ensure that NPFL Match Officials are provided more protection during league games in order to do their jobs.

Recently, attacks on match officials – who had missiles hauled at them – at the Sunshine Stars vs Kano Pillars game elicited stern criticism but more needs to be done according to former Nigerian goalkeeper Ike Shorunmu.

In a chat with Brila Media, Shorunmu, who was also goalkeeper trainer at Ifeanyi Ubah FC, said to get the best from Nigerian Referees “serious security” must be provided, particularly when during high profile games.
