The ugly side of the NPFL again came to the fore tonight after angry fans of Shooting Stars allegedly held players and officials of Ikorodu City hostage following a 0-0 draw.

Ikorodu City team bus was vandalised by the home fans, while the police had a hard time trying to prevent them from gaining access to the dressing room where the Lagos team retired to after the game.
The visiting team were held at the stadium for at least two hours after the game.
They needed the assurance of a military escort before they would make their way out of the stadium in Ibadan.
