Secretary of Kwara United, Abubakar She, was assaulted by irate fans of Nigeria Premier League (NPL) club, Gombe United during Thursday's 0-2 loss to the Afonja Warriors at the Pantami Stadium, Gombe.

The fans of the Desert Scorpions reacted badly following their 0-2 loss to Kwara United which represented the club's third defeat in their last three games.

Segun Alebiosu's well-taken brace after 53 and 90 minutes gave Kwara United an unlikely victory that took them up to third position on the table.

The victory of United was however soured by the unruly conduct of pocket of fans believed to be loyal to the home side.

"They (fans of Gombe United) assaulted our secretary and made away with his mobile phone.

"They threatened to beat us (other officials of Kwara United) up and I had to part with some money to save the situation," welfare officer of Kwara United, Tunde Ogunlana told SuperSport.com.

Ogunlana then took time to praise the Kwara United players for a 'great display' against the former league leaders.

"I want to praise our players for their great display. They showed they are mentally tough because it is not easy to win at a place like this," he concluded.

Kwara United will face Akwa United in their next NPL clash at the Ilorin Township Stadium on Saturday.
