The Disciplinary Committee of Badagry Divisional Football Association (BDFA) led by Steven Degboe has clamped down on 36 Lion Feeders and New Era Football Club for fielding an unregistered player, Sodiq Oseni to play in their matches.
The committee who sat on Thursday to hear the protest submitted against 36 Lion Feeders and New Era saw BDFA boss, Martins Osondu, disciplinary committee members and representatives of the two clubs involved in attendance.
After a fruitful delibrations, the BDFA disciplinary commiittee found out that the said player,Oseni has already been registered with New Era FC of Badagry and not fully completed with his registration forms and other documents.
Similarly, the 36 Lion Feeders management didn’t register Oseni properly and it shows that no documentation was done in regard to the said player.
Having found out that both teams were guilty and violated the rules governing the game, the BDFA decided to fine 36 Lion Feeders the sum of N10,000 and three points were deducted from the six points acquired.
While New Era FC also fined the sum of N15,000 for making a registration of a player without his consent and permission and secondly for sending a player to represent the club before the disciplinary commiittee instead of club official.
The BDFA went ahead to punish Oseni for bringing the league into disrepute and hereby expelled him from the ongoing Badagry League.
According to the organisers, Oseni gave both teams his passport photo to register him in the same league which contravened the rules and regulations of the league.
