The management of Kano Pillars deny match-fixing claim



The management of Kano Pillars have disclaimed the document which purportedly implicates the club in a match-fixing scandal, and has threatened to take legal action against the makers of the document, KickOffNigeria.com reports.

The document which was released by Today.ng an online news portal contains the minutes of a meeting whose primary agenda was to influence the outcome of away matches by offering financial considerations to match officials.

The management of Kano Pillars has however vehemently disclaimed the document, describing it as a baseless attempt by saboteurs and enemies of the club to bring the reigning Glo Premier champions to disrepute.



Kano Pillars Media Officer, Idris Malikawa, denied that the document originated from the club, insisting that the club would take legal action against those responsible.

“That statement was baseless and it was just sabotage by those against the progress of Pillars FC, and the management of Kano Pillars would not allow this allegation to go without taking judicial action on anybody found responsible on it,” Malikawa told KickOffNigeria.com.

“That statement was not from Pillars FC, it was just concocted by our enemies of progress and if they have evidence let them prove it or they should blame themselves on any action taking and even to anybody that have hand on it on whatever capacity.”
