Giwa FC to honour Abia Warriors tie

Giwa FC will honour their week 15 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) clash against Abia Warriors in Umuahia, it has been confirmed.

The Jos Elephants missed their two previous league matches against Rangers International of Enugu and Wikki Tourists of Bauchi.
A source in the camp told SportingLife that the team departed Jos on Thursday afternoon for Umuahia ahead of this weekend game.

“Well, I can confirm to you that we are going to honour the game against Abia Warriors in Umuahia. If you had called me yesterday (Wednesday) I will tell you that I don’t know whether we will be in Umuahia but as I am talking to you now we are on our way to Umuahia for the game. Giwa FC are good side anytime any day. We are always set for the match anytime,” a source told SportingLife.

The Jos-based side were banished to Ilorin for three league matches after some supporters of the club disrupted matchday 12 fixture between the club and Rangers several times by hauling dangerous objects on the field aimed at the second assistant referee forcing the center referee to finally call off the match in the 74th minute.


Giwa FC failed to show up in Abuja for the conclusion of the remaining 16 minutes against Rangers. They also refused to honour the game in Ilorin for Sunday’s fixture against Wikki Tourists.
