The Seasiders were fined ₦4.2 million and docked three points and three goals from their accumulated tally by the NPFL.

Warri Wolves said it also acknowledges the seriousness of the incident and respects the league's disciplinary process, while remaining hopeful the appeal will receive favourable consideration.
They urged supporters to remain calm, united and steadfast.
