SportingLife also gathered that in addition to the punishment, Kwara United are to pay a whooping sum of #5million to the LMC.
According to the LMC, payment of the fine must be made on or before the replay of the abandoned Week 29 match against Warri Wolves at the Old Parade Ground in Abuja come Thursday, or face losing 3 goals, 3 points to the Seasiders.
After making such payment, the Afonja Warriors management are to bear all indemnities arising from replay.
To make matters worse, the Kwara State stadium in Ilorin has been closed to all fans till the end of the season.
