Shooting Stars have condemned the physical harassment of Remo Stars forward, Sikiru Alimi by some unidentified fans.
Alimi complained on his X handle that some fans physically assaulted him after the matchday 26 encounter in Ibadan.
The Oluyole Warriors expressed disappointment with the actions of the small section of the club’s supporters.
“We learnt of the harassment on the person of Remo Stars’ striker, Sikiru Alimi, by some unidentified fans after Sunday’s match at the Lekan Salami Stadium,” the club wrote on their X handle.
“If it truly happened, it is hugely unacceptable and we as a club, condemn the act in its totality.
“Sikiru Alimi is a professional player who we hold in high esteem, moreso he was once our player.
“Our General Manager, Dimeji Lawal even spoke with him on Monday morning immediately he got wind of the incident.
“We regret the unfortunate incident and we use this medium to apologise to the striker, who is currently one of Nigeria’s best forwards on the domestic scene.”
OsunDailyNG recalls that Alimi played for Shooting Stars last season before moving to Remo Stars at the start of the current campaign.
