The Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL, has suspended Kun Khalifat FC media officer, Saviola Godwin Otu, for five matches over an unprofessional publication and failure to honour the league’s invitation.
Otu was also fined N200,000 by the league.
The sanction followed a video posted on X showing a post-match incident involving an injured coach, accompanied by a statement after Kun Khalifat’s Matchday Nine fixture against Doma United.
The NPFL said the publication and circulation of graphic content was inappropriate and inconsistent with the professionalism expected of a club media officer.

The league also cited Otu’s failure to honour its invitation to address the matter, describing it as a serious issue warranting disciplinary action.
The NPFL urged clubs and their media officers to channel genuine complaints concerning match incidents through established procedures to ensure proper investigation and appropriate action.
