Bosso threatens to report referee Christopher to NRA, LMC

By Khalid Akanni

El Kanemi Warriors Technical Adviser Ladan Bosso has threatened to file a protest to the Nigeria Referee Association (NRA) and League Management Company (LMC) against referee Mr Nee Christopher over his handling of Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL)matches involving his team, Sportinglens.blogsport.com reports.


Sportinglens.blogspot.com reports that Mr Christopher served as the Assistant Referee 1 in the mathday 22 clash between Wikki Tourists and El Kanemi Warriors on Sunday. 

The Borno Army lost 2-1 to Giants Elephants at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium but Bosso believes the final score line should have been 2-2 as he blamed Christopher for the loss.

The former Kano Pillars manager alleged that referee Christopher deliberately canceled Yahuza Bala’s 21st minute equalizer because of an existing disagreement between them. The former Sunshine Stars forward tapped in from a close range but it was ruled for an offside.

According to the El Kanemi tactician, referee Christopher is an agent of players who should not be a match official. 

Bosso claimed that Chris had sent a player to him earlier this season but he could not sign him because the player couldn’t fit into his plans, hence, the beginning of their rivalry, and has vowed to deal with him.


Sportinglens.blogsport.com understands that Christopher and Bosso had first encounter during first stanza of NPFL game between Abia Warriors and El Kanemi Warriors in Umuahia, which was won by the Maiduguri-based outfit on Wednesday March 25, 2017 where he served as Assistant Referee 1. Marcus Bwash as centre referee and Musari Musa (AR2) while Ahmed Mohammed Yakubu served as the match commissioner.
