The League Management Company has said it will investigate the flouting of COVID-19 protocols by Nigeria Professional Football League clubs after pockets of fans were seen at some match venues last weekend.

Fans were alleged allowed into the Agege Stadium for the match between MFM and Sunshine Stars and the Enyimba Stadium, Aba, during the tie between Enyimba and Wikki Tourists.

This defied the directive of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, which banned fans from stadiums last year.

LMC Chief Operating Officer, SALIHU ABUBAKAR, said the league body would verify and sanction the erring clubs appropriately.

SALIHU also said the league body was yet to take a decision on Dakkada, after the club reportedly did not carry out COVID-19 tests on their players and officials before their league game against Akwa United December 28, 2019.

Dakkada reportedly also did not conduct COVID-19 tests on their players and backroom staff, thus flouting the directive of the Nigeria Football Federation that the tests were mandatory for all the clubs before each game.
