NFF Suspends Two Officials Over Disallowed Kwara United Goal Against Rangers

The Nigeria Football Federation’s Refereeing Development Committee has indefinitely suspended referee Abdulrasheed Jimoh and assistant referee Adamu Zakari over a disallowed Kwara United goal against Rangers International in the NPFL on 8 November 2026. Kwara United’s Alex Jerry appeared to equalise in the 78th minute, but the goal was ruled out for a foul throw. Rangers won 1-0 at Awka Township Stadium, their temporary home. After reviewing the incident, the committee said the goal was valid and should have stood. Both officials have been removed from the 2026/27 NPFL referees list and stepped down from league and refereeing duties.
