The committee overruled the decision of the league management body in a hearing at the NFF headquarters in Abuja on Friday.
On April 5, Remo Stars were sanctioned with three points and three goals deduction over the alleged assault of Ndubuisi Ukah, the referee, in the dressing room — which led to the disruption of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) game against Gombe United.
IMC named Ekene Adams, Remo Stars general manager, as the alleged assaulter and thereafter banned him from all NPFL activities for the rest of the season, while the club was fined N1.2 million.
