The League Management Company(LMC) came hard on Giwa FC yesterday as it slammed the Jos based outfit with a N5 million fine and banished it to Ilorin for their next three home matches because of fans trouble during their home game against Enugu Rangers at the weekend.
Some supporters of the club disrupted the game severally by hauling dangerous objects on the field aimed at the Second Assistant Referee forcing the Referee to finally call off the match at the 74th minute.

The LMC issued Giwa FC with a Summary Jurisdiction Notice containing six separate breaches of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) Framework and Rules and accordingly sanctioned the club on each count while the club's Media Officer, David King was fined N100, 000 for breach of Clauses 1.1 and 1.5 of the code of conduct for club officials.
For failing to ensure adequate security, crowd control and preventing access by unauthorised persons to restricted areas, Giwa FC was found to be in breach of Rule B13.52 and the club was accordingly fined the sum of N500, 000 while for failure to control their players and officials, the club was fined the sum of N750, 000 in line with the provisions of Rules C9.
