NPFL rescinds ban on former Rivers United media director
The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has rescinded the ban imposed on former Rivers United media director, Sammy Wejinya.
DAILY POST recalls that Wejinya was suspended from all NPFL activities for the rest of the season after he published a viral story that was deemed to have portrayed the league in bad light following an incident at the Lafia Township Stadium.
The decision to rescind the sanction on Wejinya was reached after he appeared before a panel that sat to review his case after he wrote to request a retrial.
The NPFL chairman, Gbenga Elegbeleye confirmed the board’s decision on Wednesday.
“Mr. Sammy Wejinya appeared before an investigative panel set up to review his case following his letter of apology and appeal for, a review of his case,” Elegbeleye stated.
“The panel sat on March 3, 2025, during which Mr. Wejinya again tendered a verbal apology and explained the circumstances surrounding his failure to honour the earlier invitation.
“Our decisions at all times are guided by the objective to correct and not to harm our players, officials, and clubs.”
