Giwa have been banished to Ilorin for their next three home games after irate fans disrupted their recent game against Enugu Rangers in Jos.

They are due to host Wikki Tourists in Ilorin today and should they fail to do so, it will be the first step towards their expulsion from the league.

According to the Framework and rules of the NPFL for the 2015/16 season, 13.27 clearly spelt out the sanction of missing consecutive matches without acceptable reasons to the organisers.

It reads: “If a club fails to honour two consecutive matches without an acceptable reason to LMC such a club shall be expelled from the League and its matches played and unplayed match shall be cancelled.”

And this sanction would also apply should Giwa fail to honout three cumulative matches in the season.

Article 13.28 stated: “If a Club fails to honour three matches cumulatively within the League season without an acceptable reason to the LMC such a club shall be expelled from the League and its matches played and unplayed match shall be cancelled.”

Giwa have already been heavily fined for the crowd trouble in Jos and were also slapped additional fines after they failed to honour the rescheduled game against Rangers in Abuja.
