The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has suspended referee Abdulrasheed Jimoh and assistant referee Adamu Zakari indefinitely following their handling of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Matchday 12 fixture between Rangers International and Kwara United.

The disciplinary action was conveyed in an official letter issued on Monday, November 9, 2026, by the NFF Refereeing Development Committee.

Both match officials were sanctioned for incorrectly disallowing a legitimate goal scored by Kwara United during the encounter, citing an alleged foul throw.

According to the NFF's assessment, the goal was valid, and the incorrect ruling by the match officials directly impacted the final outcome of the game while undermining the credibility of football officiating in the domestic league.

Consequently, the NFF Refereeing Development Committee directed the immediate withdrawal of both officials from all domestic league fixtures and refereeing duties indefinitely.

The committee further ordered the complete removal of their names from the official roster of referees and assistant referees for the remaining duration of the 2026/2027 NPFL season.
