The League Management Company has condemned the attack on Remo Stars and journalists by supporters of Shooting Stars SC at the Lekan Salami Stadium in Ibadan, after their 1-1 draw with the visitors.

Remo Stars, who currently sit fifth on the Nigeria Professional football League table, were in the Oyo State capital to prosecute their Matchday 31 fixture with their regional rivals.

The ruckus which ensued led to an independent journalist, Tobi Adepoju, who claimed he was targeted by the management of 3SC, with the knowledge of the General Manager, Oladimeji Lawal, being reportedly slapped. Relating her experience on Twitter, another journalist, Atinuke Esan, stated, “I’ve heard about it but today it happened to me. I was harassed at Lekan Salami Stadium today alongside [Tobi Adepoju]. He was slapped but I was pushed outside. The saving grace was [that] I am a lady.“I stood beside [Tobi Adepoju] as he was slapped. The thing be like dream . He would have slapped me too if not someone that said, ‘leave am na lady’,” she wrote.
