Following a series of contentious remarks made about a referee during a recent Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) match, Sporting Lagos coach Jeffrey Buter has been summoned by the league’s disciplinary panel. According to reports from Daily Post Nigeria and Nigeria Lagos, Buter’s comments came after his side drew 1-1 with Barau FC at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Onikan, Lagos.
