Nigeria’s League Management Company has slammed a N2.5 million fine and a 10-match ban on billionaire businessman, Ifeanyi Ubah, who was caught on camera slapping Heartland FC goalkeeper, Ebele Obi.
The LMC toughened its punishment for Ubah after video evidence nailed him.
The regulator however said in a statement on Thursday that the billionaire businessman can appeal against the ruling if he deems so.
The statement read: “Chief Dr Ifeanyi Ubah, proprietor of FC Ifeanyi Ubah, is suspended from all NPFL match venues for the next 10 matches.
“He has now been fined N2.5m because LMC found him guilty of encroaching field of play and assaulting Heartland player Ebele Obi.
“The fabled billionaire is expected to offer a letter of apology and an undertaking to be a good ambassador of the NPFL.
“The LMC further bans all self- procured security services other than those sanctioned by the LMC from all NPFL match venues henceforth.
“Four of the 10-match NPFL ban is suspended for a probationary period till the end of the season.
“Ubah has up till 5pm on Saturday to appeal this decision if he objects the ruling,” the statement concluded.

Nobody should be above the law, a nice way to go by lmc
ReplyDeleteThis is why I don't like Nigeria. LMC seems to be weak with their fine.
DeleteHow much is 2.5M?
I believe that he should be sanctioned to the tone of 20- 50M, points deducted from his club and be banned till the end of the season.
Also, the mascots should be given live ban from stadium.
But how sure are we that they (mascots) won't go to stadium next time even if they were banned as there is no proper technology to keep them in sight.
I saw the video footage and it doesn't show that he is a PhD holder.
Okay
DeleteSo the fine should be equal to the class/value of the perpetrator of office?
Delete1slap! It may be ruled as d court pleased or damages claimed in Pleadings.
N2.5m is somtin, 10matches ban, public apology + d public shame.
He has d money n wud pay. I bet he's sorry.
That is the same tout some of you here were drumming support for Buhari to Employ. Egoistic man that lured all the people he gave cars for election and locked up in his compound. Took the car keys from them and pursued all of them asking them to come and collect the car with cheques of appropriate fee for the vehicles.
DeleteEnd time billionaire
ReplyDeleteThat white nba team owner made a racist remark and he lost his team...dude encroaches field of play and slaps a player and gets 2.5m fine?
DeleteThe keeper should sue him for 100bn and the court will gb him like 1bn. The club should sue him too.
People saying no money yet money making opportunities popping up daily

DeleteLook at this illogical buffon suffering from ancestral memory loss asking someone if they can abuse other to their face. All the people you curse out on this blog, can you abuse them to their face? Sorry, i forgot your brain malfunctions so you reason with your devalued punani and consequently you must have a problem remembering that your soiled ass have been cussing people too. Ewu famsing Ifeanyi Uba!
DeleteOh shut up.
DeleteThat's the problem with Nigeria.
You come here and disrespect other people but because Ubah is your 'uncle' no one should disrespect him.
All the numerous people you disrespect and insult here are uncles and Fathers to people like yourself so I hope that you now understand how you've made other people feel.
And come to think that he wanted to become a governor...that's how he will b slapping people upadan. Unless the slap na April fool
