The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) suspends assistant referee Yakubu Aliyu Bana indefinitely following a disputed decision in Doma United’s match against Enyimba. The NFF says the suspension is tied to an incorrect offside call that affected a goal decision during the encounter.
According to an NFF letter reported by multiple outlets, the action follows an assessment by the Referee Development Committee. The decision is conveyed in a letter signed by Mohammed Ameenu, the committee secretary, and is dated Sunday, September 13. While outlets describe the incident in slightly different terms—one emphasizing the offside decision and another focusing on a wrongly disallowed goal—both attribute the suspension to the same match event.
The reports do not detail the duration beyond “indefinitely” or provide specifics on further disciplinary steps, but they consistently state that Bana is suspended for the officiating error connected to the Doma United versus Enyimba outcome.
