According to the letter, Warri Wolves said the rules which were given to every club at the beginning of the season serve as the arbiter that governs the league and should not be set aside in what they described as selective justice.

Warri Wolves claimed in the said match, it was glaring that the match officials were beating by the home fans just like what happened between Elkanemi Football Club and Wikki Tourist and at the end, the same body awarded three points and three goals to Elkanemi.

The letter further said whereas the LMC applied section 3.7(1) of the rule by asking Kwara to pay five Million Naira, what happened to the remaining two sections which says the team will forfeit three points and three goals?

The letter also stated that Warri Wolves is only fighting for the interest of the League as it could happen to any Club, hence they regard it as their rights to fight this injustice.

As a result of that the Management has therefore said in view of the overwhelming evidence against Kwara United, it would be difficult for the Club to honour the match and called on the Nigeria Football Federation to set up a new body to treat this case
