Violence After Remo Stars V Ikorodu City Match by naptu2(op): 12:28pm On Jan 16

Some Remo Stars fans claim that their assistant manager was slapped and several Remo Stars' fans' phones were stolen in Ikorodu when Remo Stars played there last season. They vowed to get their revenge when Ikorodu City went to Remo on Wednesday.

NPFL officials held peace meetings days to the match, but that did not stop what happened on Wednesday.

Videos from within the Ikorodu City team bus show a hostile crowd around the bus while players inside accuse policemen outside of not doing enough to stop the attacks. They also said that Remo Stars officials were around but they didn't stop the attacks.

Other videos show the Ikorodu City being chased by a convoy of cars allegedly being driven by Remo Stars fans.

NPFL Condemns Physical Attacks During Remo Stars, Ikorodu Match

January 16, 2026

The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), has expressed frustration at reports of fracas and alleged physical attacks on fans during and after the Match day 20 fixture between Remo Stars and Ikorodu City at Ikenne, Ogun State.

Remo Stars won, yet their fans attacked harmless away supporters and vandalised their team bus after the derby match.

NPFL Chief Operating Officer, ‎Davidson Owumi, said the league body is unhappy that the alleged attacks took place even after a reconciliation meeting was held with top officials of the two clubs in attendance.

‎”In the light of the reports and video evidence that are in our possession, the NPFL is inviting the two clubs to an investigative hearing on Monday, January 19 at our office in Abuja,” the NPFL statement read.
‎
‎Owumi said the hearing is to enable the league to get to the immediate end remote causes of the incident and invoke the rules to apply due sanctions to anyone or club found culpable.

Stop attacking fans, attack yourselves on the pitch, break each other's legs on the pitch. That's what makes football sweet, especially a derby match. Remo vs Ikorodu have started a rivalry that will last forever in Nigeria football. NPFL should market it and use it to cash out.

Yep, and in the meantime....

The rest of France has spent the opening months of the soccer season asking itself the same question. A wave of violence has washed over Ligue 1, the country’s top division, since fans returned to its stadiums in August after a yearlong absence caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Two games, both involving Marseille, have been suspended — and eventually postponed — after Payet was struck by an object thrown from the stands. In Lyon, the players were taken off the field quickly. In the previous incident, at Nice, there was an angry confrontation on the field between Marseille’s players and hundreds of opposition fans. That confrontation also had consequences: A Nice fan was given a 12-month suspended sentence for kicking Payet, and a Marseille coach was barred for the rest of the season for punching a field invader

SAUCE

And then the french sent three officials to the world cup the following year.

Yes, and that's what drives away investment from our football, and gives us a bad name in the eyes of the world.

Plus, remember how the English used to tolerate violence in their football...until something called Heysel, and another thing called Hillsborough happened, that woke them up.

Blame the League organizer's.
I have been to the Stadium to watch an NPFL game and I vowed never to try it again.
There was no security measures in the stadium.
People were selling ganja ( Indian herm) openly, while some guys were even wrapping it and smoking it openly.
Few police officers I saw were not with a gun but they carry baton.
Nigeria is too insecure and unsafe to risk your life to go watch any local league game right now.
Even Abuja is not secured.

Abeg shift joor, it's clear you don't watch football in Europe and South America between teams with fierce rivalry. This is no strange to football rivalries. I said in my comment that fans should not be attacked but everyother thing is allowed.

Is the best revenge not the legal one, that sanctions the offender and discourages potential offenders from doing such?

Is that how evolved law & order societies behave huh

Many thanks for the reference to Heysel and Hillsborough incidents.

Great historical context, from which appropriate actionable lessons can be derived for the growth and development of our national league.
