– LMC lifts home ban on Sunshine Stars home ground
– Sunshine Stars set to play Akwa United in league opener
in front of home fans
Sunshine Stars’ one year home ban in the Akure Township
has been overturned by the League Management Company
(LMC), goal.com reports.
The Akure based team had faced the wrath of the League
Management Company in November last year following the
unruly nature of their fans in the clash against Lobi stars.
Fans of the home team stormed the pitch and attacked
match officials in the clash against Lobi Stars in the 77 th
minute of the game for failing to award a penalty.
According to Lobi Stars on their Twitter handle
(@lobistars), the official camera man of the team was
attacked, beaten unconscious and his camera destroyed.
He was immediately rushed to hospital.
Following the ban, the team went ahead to play their
remaining home games in Lagos and they were fined the
sum of five million Naira (N5m).
