day 30 of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) between Katsina United
and Kano Pillars by designating the fixture as High Risk Match based on historic
rivalry between the two teams, Sportinglens.blogspot.com reports.
A special
envoy, Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau, Chairman of the NFF Security Committee has been
detailed to work with the home team towards ensuring absolute safety of all
fans during the game.
The league
body also charged Katsina United to cooperate with the Special Envoy to ensure
that there is adequate security cover before, during and after the match
especially for the travelling fans from Kano.
LMC mandated Katsina United to go beyond the mandatory minimum number of security
presence and bring in additional officers for the game to hold safely without rancour.
They also advised Kano Pillars to admonish their fans to avoid provocative actions that
may lead to breakdown of law & order before, during & after the match.
Players and
officials of Kano Pillars arrived in Katsina on Tuesday morning in preparation
for the match.
Kano Pillars
defeated Rangers International 2-0 in the match day 29 on Sunday while Katsina
