Hon Silas Agara, the Special Adviser to Nasarawa state Governor on Sport Development has dissociated the Government of Nasarawa for being part of the scandalous 79 goals against Akurba United of Nasarawa state and Plateau United of Plateau state.
The four matches which was 78-Plateau United-Akurba 0 and 67-Police machine and Gombe United FC 0 has continued to generate public reactions from the broad-spectrum of Nigerian and entire sports community.
The S.A described the outcome of the football match as ugly, devilish and deceitful and one that defies logic. He condemned in strong terms the scandalous act orchestrated by few individuals bent on dragging football to the mud.
This was contained in a press statement signed by the Special Adviser to Governor Umaru Tanko Al-Makura and made available to 247ureports by swan chairman, Muhammed Dan-Musa.
“I find it most disturbing that Akurba United traveled to Bauchi without the consent of the state Government. It is nothing more than a show of shame and we would want to assure that the process is on to institute a probe panel to get to the root of the matter.
I still find it difficult to believe that two matches could produce 147 goals within 90 minutes, It is a shame and posterity will never forgive us if we don’t roundly condemn the act and punish those that acted the mischievous script of their masters. This indeed is a serious indictment on both players and management of the four clubs as well as officials that handled the two ill-fated matches,” said Silas Agara.
