Enyimba vs 3SC clash: Fans query referee Odey’s appointment

Fans of Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) of Ibadan have raised observation for constant assigning of referee Ben Oday from Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to officiate any match between 3SC and Enyimba in the league in the past seasons.

The FIFA badge referee Odey is expected to be on duty for Wednesday’s match day 11 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) tie against Peoples Elephant at the U.J Esuene Stadium, Calabar, Cross Rivers State.

Odey will be assisted by Abel Baba and Sanusi Zakari from Kogi State while Emma Udoh from Akwa Ibom will serve as a fourth official.  A retired FIFA referee, Elube Prince Niger State was appointed as referee assessor.

Some of the fans who voiced their concerns queried the rationale behind his appointment.

“Can we call this a coincidence or what? When you have the same referee handling a game involving two teams consecutively,” a fan asked.

Another fan added: “We always have it very difficult any time we have referee Odey in charge of our match. Again, I want to know if it is deliberate to always assign him to take charge any time we are playing Enyimba. “
