The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) have announced that they are going to come down on four lower-league clubs over allegations that they were complicit in what the NFF have called a "mind-boggling show of shame" in which two clubs, both chasing promotion and needing to hike up their goal difference, mysteriously managed to rack up respective 79-0 and 67-0 victories at the weekend.

According to the AP, the matches, which were both played at the same time, saw Plateau United Feeders score 72 second-half goals in their 79-0 win over Akurba FC, while Police Machine FC stuck 61 goals past Babayaro FC in the second half of their 67-0 victory.

Unsurprisingly, the NNF have confirmed that all players, match officials, management, club officials and tournament coordinators involved in the debacle will be investigated for match-fixing in the not-so-distant future, with an NFF spokesman declaring "anyone found to have played some role in this despicable matter will be severely dealt with."
