We Cleared Kolawole Daniel Legally 3SC Replies Vandrezzer

 

The attention of the Management of the Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) of Ibadan, has been drawn to a petition written to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Player's Status Committee by NNL side, Vandrezzer FC,  laying claims to the ownership of a player, Kolawole Daniel and accusing 3SC of illegally fielding the player.

Going by tbe content of the petition, Shooting Stars, as a professional side, is shocked and amazed with Vandrezzer's claims, aimed at tarnishing the image of the Oluyole Warriors.

For clarifications purpose, we want to state here emphatically that 3SC do not have any deal with Vandrezzer over any player,  as they claimed in their petition, as the player in question, Kolawole Daniel, was cleared from his parent club, Gidado FC of Ilorin.

It will interest you to know that Daniel, who  featured for Osun United during the 2017 season, returned to his parent club, Gidado FC,  who later released him to Vandrezzer on a two year loan deal in 2019.

At the end of the 2019/20 season, in which we competed in the NNL, we got wind of Daniel's availability, having left Vandrezzer after the expiration of the loan deal and we contacted his parent club, Gidado FC for his services.

After a successful discussion between 3SC and Gidado FC, a deal was sealed for the player to join Shooting Stars, after Gidado FC presented the necessary documents, proving that the player belongs to them.

From the documents made available to us during the course of discussion by Gidado FC, which we carefully studied, we got convinced, with fact, that the player, Kolawole Daniel, is a bonafide player of Gidado FC, hence, our decision to negotiate with them.

We therefore use this medium to call on the management of Vandrezzzer FC, to desist from making claims capable of dragging our name in the mud, as far as the transfer of Kolawole Daniel is concerned.

We took the right step by approaching the rightful owner of the player (Gidado FC),, before agreeing to secure his services, according to FIFA and NFF statutes on players' transfer.

Shooting Stars as a professional club, with vast knowledge of rules guiding the transfer of players, will never descend so low, to contract any player illegally.

If Vandrezzer have any issue on Kolawole Daniel, that should be between them and GIdado FC, as we don't have any business with them, since we did not get the player from them but from his parent club, GIdado FC, which we did legally, and with the neccessary documents available to back our claims, for the benefits of doubt.

NPFL: Etafia Expelled From NPFL For Assaulting Match Official, Dakkada FC Banished To Benin

 

After conclusion of preliminary investigation on the assault on an Assistant Referee, the League Management Company (LMC) has announced the immediate expulsion of Sunday Etefia, the Dakkada FC Assistant Coach.

The LMC also fined Dakkada FC a total sum of N3.5m and ordered to play their next three home matches at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin for breach of Rules B13.52 and C9 following the incidents of the MatchDay 4 fixture.

The LMC also recommended a review of the performance of the match Officials including the Match Commissioner, Dr. Mrs. N Anyanwu for her failure to duly report the incident of assault on the Assistant Referee 11. It noted that " curiously, the Match Commissioner identified the perpetrator as a fan whereas it was a club official"

Also recommended for a performance review is the Match Referee, Mathew Tanimu from Plateau State for his match Management and failure to timely submit the match report given the serious incident.

Etefia was indicted for assaulting Assistant Referee 11, Sani Baba, at the end of the Matchday 4 fixture against Remo Stars in Uyo. The LMC recommended to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to review the coaching licence of Etefia "as you have failed the threshold to be a coach under the NFF Licence" 

In the Summary Jurisdiction notice, the LMC noted that Dakkada FC was charged for "breach of Rule B13.52 in that on Sunday, the 2nd of January 2022, you did not fulfill your responsibility, as the designated home team, to ensure adequate and effective security for persons involved in the match, wherein a match official (AR 2 – Sani Baba) was assaulted and battered by one of your officials (Sunday Etefia) as the match officials proceeded to leave the pitch at full time; and the General Manager of the visiting team was also harassed and assaulted in the tunnel at half time".

In the second charge, Dakkada FC was found in breach of Rule C9 for failing to control their officials and ensure their proper conduct at all times. The battering of Assistant Referee, Baba by Etefia and harassment of Remo Stars General Manager were cited as such improper conduct.

Consequently, the LMC fined the Club N3m for failure to provide adequate security in the course of the match.

Dakkada were ordered to pay the sum of N250,000 each to the Assistant Referee and General Manager of Remo Stars for medical expenses and may include any additional verifiable and authenticated medical costs.

While ordering Dakkada to play a minimum of three home matches at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City, the LMC ruled that the club would only be permitted to return to its home stadium upon receipt of a satisfactory report or update on the formal report to the Police and prosecution of the official involved in the alleged assault. The prosecution must be authenticated by the LMC legal team and compliance unit.

The club must pay the stipulated fines within seven working days and have a two points deduction which shall be suspended for a probationary period of the remainder of the season.

Both the club and the charged official have 48 hours from the date of the notice to submit to the summary jurisdiction or elect to face a disciplinary hearing.
