NNL: NFF hammer falls on referee for poor officiating

The Referee Development Committee of the Nigeria Football Federation has suspended Wilfred Charway from officiating Nigeria National League, NNL, matches.

The referee’s suspension was contained in a statement released by the committee on Monday.

According to the committee, the decision was taken due to Charway’s questionable calls during the match between Solution FC and Godswill Akpabio FC, played in Awka on Saturday, February 15, 2025.

The referee reportedly awarded an unjustified penalty, which was not in line with the Laws of the Game.

The committee stated that Charway’s actions not only influenced the outcome of the match unfairly but also brought the game into disrepute.

“I am therefore directed to notify you that you have been stepped down indefinitely and with immediate effect from the league,” the committee stated.
