Centre Referee Nwite Thomas from Abia had to use the rule of force majure to stop Bendel Insurance and Shooting Stars rescheduled week 17 encounter minutes before the resumption of the second half.
This, according to Jubril Arowolo, 3SC’s spokesman in a statement, was due to poor visibility occasioned by heavy downpour immediately both teams filed on to the pitch for the restart.
“Nwite had to consult with the Match Commissioner, the two teams and their officials before announcing the shift till 9 am tomorrow.
The Oluyole Warriors were ahead with 1-0 score line through Olawale Mutiu’s two minute strike from a free kick before the postponement.
