The incident occurred shortly after the final whistle, casting a shadow over what was otherwise a competitive fixture. Eyewitnesses claim that a group of Nasarawa United fans confronted Temitope near the players' exit, leading to the unfortunate injury.
The NPFL has yet to release an official statement regarding the incident. However, this event underscores the pressing need for stricter enforcement of security protocols to ensure the safety of all participants in Nigerian football.
Temitope is currently receiving medical treatment, and updates on his condition will be provided as more information becomes available.
