... Cautions Coach Boboye, others
The management of Bendel Insurance Football Club has tendered unreserved apologies to the management of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) and the Nigeria Referee Association (NRA) over the ugly incident involving the head coach Kennedy Boboye and the referees that officiated match day 32 encounter between Bendel Insurance FC and Plateau United on Saturday, March 28,2026 at the Samuel Ogbemudia stadium.
After a careful review of the circumstances surrounding the incident and the consequences there-in, the management expressed disgust and condemned the action of head coach Kennedy Boboye and described the incident as ugly and unfortunate.
The management has also cautioned coach Kennedy Boboye and his crew against a repeat of such action(s), insisting such behaviours will not be tolerated as Insurance FC remain a disciplined and law abiding club.
Management has however advised it's coaches, players and officials to learn from the unfortunate incident and avoid overheated arguments with match officials during any match home or away, as their actions will not change decisions of referees but only aggravate punishment.
Meanwhile, as the Benin Arsenals prepare to take on Abia Warriors under a closed door arrangement, following the NPFL sanctions, placing Insurance home matches behind closed doors for three consecutive fixtures, management of Bendel Insurance FC has appealed to fans and Supporters club to stay away from the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium premises within the period as the club is in compliance with the directive, beginning with the match day 34 involving Bendel Insurance FC and Abia Warriors on Saturday, April 11,
Bendel Insurance FC assured of their aversion to behaviours that do not promote fair play or support attitudes capable of bringing the game of football and the NPFL in the country to disrepute .
