Katsina United have dismissed reports that one of Barau FC’s players, Nana Abraham, was brutally attacked during their NPFL matchday 12 fixture.
There were widespread claims after the game that angry supporters of Katsina United went after Abraham and allegedly cut his throat.
Reports stated that the Barau FC midfielder sustained a serious wound around his neck following the clash.
But Katsina United have now strongly denied the allegation, insisting it was false information being pushed by their opponents.
“These are fabricated stories. Nobody slit any player’s throat,” the club reacted via their official social media platforms while releasing video clips they said prove their innocence. “This is the same player after the match. His teammates were trying to hide him from cameras and even the fake bandage fell off.”
The NPFL authorities are now being urged to step in and take action over the violent scenes recorded in the game.
