Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL)
defending champions, Kano Pillars, were
attacked by armed robbers on their way to
Owerri to honour their opening league match.
Pillars were to face Heartland at the Dan Ayiam
stadium in a week one fixture of the NPFL 2015
season on Saturday, but the tie looks doubtful
after the team was attacked by robbers.
“Yes it’s true that the players were attacked at
Abaji, some players were shot. Gambo
Mohammed, Otekpa and a few others were
shot. They are currently at a hospital in
Lokoja,” Idris Malikawa, the media manager of
the team, told SL10.ng .
A player from the team, Isaac Loute, also
confirmed the attack.
“We were attacked by armed robbers, they shot
our players in the hand, and some were hit on
the head,” he said.
“Gambo Mohammed, Otekpa Energy, Ekpai
Ubong, Rubuen Ogbonaya who just joined
Pillars from El-Kanemi Warriors, and then
Muritala were all hit by bullets. Right now, we
are at the Federal hospital in Kogi.”

It is well. They would have to reschedule the match as some must have been psychologically affected.
