Banishing Akwa United

Banishing Akwa United

Every passing day Nigerian fans find nastier ways of showing support for their teams. The way Akwa United fans attacked referees during their league match against Warri Wolves is quite frightening as they went to the dressing room at half time rather than wait for them to show up at the pitch.

I still had doubts if they were Akwa supporters as they were up by 2-0 at the break until the matter was investigated and punishment was handed out. It is so bizarre that fans would still beat up match officials even when they were leading in a game. What could have been their grouse? Whatever it was doesn't really matter because it was absolutely stupid.

My concern here is that they have been banished from their home ground. If the Akwa officials could not protect those officials and the fans are still living in the Stone Age, then they don't have to see modern football. If I had my way the culprits should have been flogged 12 strokes of the cane publicly in addition to the punishment on the team.
