Olupeju who expressed his outburst in a post match interview with Radio Nigeria Asaba, faulted what he described as a controversial penalty the referee awarded to the Kun Khalifat FC, saying that he would challenge it before the management of NNL.
He said he was disappointed about the officiating despite the assurances of fair officiating by the chairman of the Nigeria National League Board, George Aluo during the draws ceremony for match fixtures .
The Crown Football Club General Manager appealed to the officiating team to ensure fair officiating in the remaining matches so as not to damper the enthusiasm and high spirits of players.
He said despite the initial setback, he had confidence in his players who according to him, will secure promotion ticket to the Nigeria Professional Football League .
