Ekiti Queens have reacted to their banishment to the MKO Abiola Stadium, Abeokuta for their next three home fixtures by the Nigeria Women Football League, NWFL.
The club were also fined 2.5 million naira for fans trouble at the Oluyemi Kayode stadium in Ado Ekiti last Wednesday.
Ekiti United stated that the ruling ignored the central issue raised in their petition, which detailed a pattern of poor officiating during the matchday three fixture with Edo Queens.
They pointed that the referee Aliyu Aminat failed to meet the professional standards expected in the league.
Assistant referees Ogunronbi Ruth and Williams O. Veronica, along with match commissioner Olajide Caroline, were also cited for their handling of key moments.
Ekiti Queens argue that the league’s refusal to examine this evidence raises serious concerns about transparency, accountability and fairness within the competition.
DAILY POST reports that Ekiti Queens suffered a 1-0 defeat to Edo Queens in the game.
