TEAM BUS MISHAP: NPFL OFFERS CONDOLENCES TO DOMA UNITED

The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) expressed its condolences to Doma United following their involvement in a traffic incident on June 10th.
Doma United was engaged in a car accident on the aforementioned date while traveling from Owerri, Imo state, to Gombe state, which is their home state, according to a report from Naija News.

On Sunday, June 9, 2024, they traveled to Owerri for their NPFL Matchday 35 match against Heartland, which resulted in a 3-1 loss for the visitors.

Unfortunately, as they were reaching Nasarawa State in the pouring rain, their team bus skidded off the road on the way home from the game.

Although there were no fatalities reported in the collision, a few bus passengers sustained injuries and are presently receiving medical attention at a hospital in Lafia, the state capital of Nasarawa.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with Doma United and the contingent at this very difficult time,” NPFL chairman, Gbenga Elegbeleye, told Doma United chairman Suleiman Umar in a chat on Tuesday, June 11.

“On behalf of the NPFL Board and Management, I wish the injured persons speedy and full recovery, with the hope that they would return to action soon.

“We are particularly relieved that there was no loss of lives in the accident, and we pray for the safety of all other teams and their fans as we gradually roll up the season.”

Note that before the road accident, Doma United who are currently in the relegation zone, have recorded 11 wins, 10 draws, and 14 defeats in 35 league games. They are currently sitting in the 18th spot with 43 points, two points away from safety.
