The Kwara Football Association has apologised to football fans in the state for the ugly incident which led to Kwara United FC being ordered to Lokoja during the 2012/2013 season.

The apology is contained in the communiqué of its stakeholders meeting of Wednesday, issued on Thursday in Ilorin.

The Ilorin-based Kwara United were ordered to Lokoja after C. I. D. Durunna, the second assistant referee in their Week 29 fixture against Warri Wolves, was beaten up by fans.

The match was played at the Kwara Stadium in Ilorin on Aug. 31.

The communiqué, signed by Isaac Oloruntoba, the meeting’s Communiqué Drafting Committee Chairman, said the apology was on behalf of the management and players of Kwara United. It thanked Gov. Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara and Sen. Bukola Saraki, a former governor of the state, for their commitment to football development in the state.
