The Oyo State Football Association (Oyo FA) has announced an indefinite ban on Olalekan Ojo from attending Shooting Stars' home games. The decision, confirmed through a press release on Sunday, was a consequence of Ojo's poor conduct during a Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) match between Shooting Stars and Bayelsa United.
According to the Oyo FA Secretary, Kehinde Ojelowo, the ban extends beyond Shooting Stars' matches and applies to all stadia across the state. The association described Ojo's behavior after the Matchday 13 encounter as unsporting and capable of tarnishing the image of football. The incident occurred on November 24, 2025, during a game held at the Lekan Salami Stadium, Ibadan.
In the suspension notice, the Oyo FA emphasized the severity of the situation, stating, “You have been suspended indefinitely from watching any 3SC match or entering all the stadiums in the state.” The association warned that non-compliance would lead to arrest by law enforcement. The statement reflects Oyo FA's commitment to upholding discipline and ensuring a safe environment for football fans.
The match itself ended with a decisive goal from Anthony Okachi, securing a victory for Shooting Stars. However, the post-match misconduct overshadowed the on-field performance, prompting swift action by the Oyo FA to maintain order and professionalism in Nigerian football.
