Kano Pillars Football Club has initiated an internal investigation into the alleged assault of a match official by one of its team members during the ongoing Nationwide Under-19 Youth League in Ilorin.
In a statement issued by the club’s Media and Communications Department, the management expressed deep concern over an image circulating on social media, which appears to show a member of the club’s travelling contingent involved in an altercation.
“Kano Pillars FC strongly condemns any form of violence, misconduct, or hooliganism, whether on or off the pitch,” the statement read. “The club has immediately launched an internal investigation and is reviewing video footage of the incident to establish the facts.”
The club emphasized that appropriate disciplinary measures will be taken in line with its code of conduct, reaffirming its commitment to professionalism, sportsmanship, and respect for the game.
“Kano Pillars FC remains dedicated to youth development and football excellence with integrity. We urge our fans and the public to remain calm as we address the matter responsibly,” the statement concluded.
