Kun Khalifat have announced it will no longer participate in the Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL.
The Owerri club failed to honour their NPFL matchday 24 fixture against El-kanemi Warriors in Maiduguri on Monday and according to the NPFL, Kun Khalifat’s decision breached the league’s framework and rules.
The NPFL handed the Owerri club a three-point and three-goal forfeiture, awarded to El-Kanemi Warriors.
It also imposed a ₦10 million fine, which is suspended for the rest of the season if no similar offence occurs.
Reacting to the punishment, the club described the sanctions as “outrageous and disproportionate,” insisting that valid reasons were provided for missing the match but were rejected by the league.
Kun Khalifat gained promotion to the NPFL from the Nigeria National League, NNL, last season.
