Fans of Sunshine Stars in Akure have now been accused of beating the hell out of a centre referee after their club was held to a goalless draw at home to Kano Pillars on Sunday.

The alleged attack which was caused due to poor officiating was said to have occurred after the referee sounding the final whistle.
