NWFL Championship Playoffs: NFF suspends two officials for misconduct.

Referee Amamong Idongesit Anthony of Akwa Ibom and Assistant Referee Blessing Nwika of Rivers are among the officials affected.

The NFF determined that the performance of both officials harmed the integrity of officiating, the NWFL, the tournament, and the sport.
