Alleged Match Fixing Between Gombe United and Sunshine Stars
There are strong indications over alleged match fixing in the Nigeria Premier Football League NPFL matchday 34 fixture between Gombe United and Sunshine Stars of Akure in Gombe.
Gombe United who are currently rocking in the bottom of the league takes on Sunshine Stars in Gombe having drawn 1-1 at home last weekend to Bendel Insurance, the results has kept the Akure Gunners in a precarious situation on the log with the intention of winning Gombe United in manipulative way.
According to reports in Gombe, plans have been concluded for the visitors to have a smooth victory in the game because a defeat for Sunshine Stars will dent their stay in the NPFL, especially with their closest opponent Doma United and Bayelsa United playing at home.
The handlers of the league should be at alert as such acts are capable of putting the NPFL into bad light, particularly sponsors who have invested hugely in the NPFL at a point where football enthusiasts and stakeholders are seeing the massive progress made in the NPFL.
Referees at this moment should be monitored closely by the organizers of the league in order to avoid malpractices that would put the league into disrepute.
