NPFL: Shooting Stars deny match fixing allegations

Published on May 02, 2025 at 12:40 PM

The management of Shooting Stars have debunked match fixing allegations levelled against the club by a presenter.

The presenter in a sports programme aired on an Ibadan-based radio station allegedly claimed that Shooting Stars deliberately surrendered a two-goal lead against Katsina United and sold out the South West derby clash against Remo Stars which they lost 1-0.

The Oluyole Warriors in a statement released on Friday frowned at what it termed baseless and unfounded allegations against the club.

“We are therefore, compelled to react swiftly to these baseless, barbaric and unfounded allegations.

“We totally frowned on the unprofessional outburst of the presenter, making references to the matches, our players as well as other individuals, who he mentioned as culprits.

“We want to state clearly that nobody from the club granted interview on the radio station and we therefore, wonder how the presenter came up with his reports that our Chairman, Honourable Babatunde Olaniyan ‘Akoro’ offered match officials money during some of our games.”;
