Day 4 Kano Pillars fans disgrace themselves (egged on by Rabiu Ali) with post match pitch invasion as Enyimba go top and have qualified for Africa.
Final Day! First a couple of notes: Kano Pillars were punished for Monday's incident. N8 million fine. Play their first three home fixtures behind closed doors. Rabiu Ali suspended for 12 games. Also most of the afternoon news was out that Akwa United had sacked their manager Rafael Everton. About an hour after their match, United announced that Everton had not been fired, mearly suspended. With that out of the way, Enyimba International are Champions Of Nigeria for a record 8th time! Enyimba and Kano Pillars are Nigeria's representatives in the 2019/2020 CAF Champions League. Rangers are in the CAF Confederation Cup
