The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has awarded Rangers three points and three goals following the abandoned Oriental derby against Enyimba. The match, part of the NPFL's matchday 35 fixtures, was halted in added time after a controversial penalty was awarded to the Rangers at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium in Enugu.

Enyimba players protested the decision, leading to confrontations with the match officials, while fans invaded the pitch, causing further disruption. As a result, Enyimba has been fined N10 million for failing to control their players, disrupting the NPFL live broadcast, and causing the match to be discontinued.

Additionally, three Enyimba players—Eze Ekwutoziam, Chibuike Nwaiwu, and Akanni Elijah—are under investigation for potential further sanctions.

The NPFL's letter to Enyimba stated, “An order forfeiting 3 points and three goals in favor of your opponent for refusing to allow the penalty awarded in favor of your opponents to be taken, thereby disrupting the match and bringing the game to disrepute.”

Enyimba is also required to identify and produce for further investigation other players and officials involved in the disruptive conduct, particularly against the match officials. This includes the aforementioned players Eze Ekwutoziam, Chibuike Nwaiwu, and Akanni Elijah.

Furthermore, Rangers have been charged with "over-ticketing, which led to overcrowding" and failing to provide adequate security and crowd control measures during the match. As a result, Rangers have been fined a cumulative N5 million for these breaches.
