The General Manager of Kano Pillars Football Club, Ahmed Musa, has apologised for the violent scenes that marred their Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) clash against Shooting Stars Sports Club on Sunday.
In a statement released late Sunday, Musa described the incident as heartbreaking, shameful, and completely unacceptable, adding that it does not reflect the true values or proud history of Kano Pillars.
“Violence has no place in football. It is unacceptable, unjustifiable, and goes against everything this beautiful sport stands for,” he said.
Musa extended an unreserved apology to Shooting Stars players, coaches, fans, match officials, and NPFL organisers. He also pledged full cooperation with authorities to identify and sanction those responsible for the chaos.
“We understand that apologies alone are not enough. Words must be followed by action, and we will take steps to ensure this never happens again,” he added.
