The Nigeria Football Federation Refereeing Development Committee has indefinitely stepped down referee Ignatius Nwankwo over poor officiating in a Nationwide League One match between Oisa FC and Dem Daniel FC.
According to the NFF Referees' Committee Chairman, Mohammed Ameenu, Nwankwo breached the Laws of the Game during the match played on May 4, 2025, at the Awka Centre.
The full statement reads:
"Reference to your decisions that adversely affect not only the outcome of the match between Oisa FC and Dem Daniel FC, one of the NLO matches played at the Awka Centre on Sunday, 4th May 2025 wherein both of you took decisions that were not in line with the provisions of the Laws of the Game.
Such a glaring display of impunity did not only negatively affect the outcome of the match but equally brings the game to disrepute.
I am, therefore, directed to notify you that you have been stepped down indefinitely and with immediate effect from the league."
