Following a goalless draw between Rangers Football Club of Enugu and Plateau United FC in an NPFL matchday 11 fixture, Rangers players and officials were reportedly ambushed and attacked by Plateau United fans near the Jos International Stadium on Sunday.
A player, Daniel Onyia, sustained head injuries after being struck by stones thrown at the team’s bus along Zaria Road as they made their way back to their hotel after the game. The attack, which shattered four bus windows and injured multiple players, began after fans expressed dissatisfaction at the final whistle.
“As the players and official buses made to leave the stadium, there were loud bangs on the bodies of the buses as the drivers made a quick dash towards the exit gate.
