Warri Wolves
General Manager Moses Etu has confirmed that the club have sent a formal
protest letter to the Nigeria Football Federation over the conduct of the
centre referee during Wednesday’s Federation Cup quarter-final tie against FC
IfeanyiUbah. Etu alleged
that his side scored good goal which was disallowed by the centre referee, Ola
Olayemi from Ogun State, during their encounter played at the Moshood Abiola
Stadium, Abeokuta, with FC IfeanyiUbah leading 1-0 at the time.
Etu also
added that the referee made a lot of questionable calls in the encounter against
his side.
He debunked
claims that it was his side that abandoned the game and stated that it was the
referee that blew off the game.
“We have
paid the necessary money to enable us to file a protest letter and we have sent
a protest letter to the NFF on what happened in the game,” Etu said.
“The
performance of the referee in the game was not up to standard and he made a lot
of questionable calls against us.
“We scored
good goal which he wrongly disallowed. It’s an injustice against us and we hope
the NFF will look into the case judiciously.”
