Sunshine Stars have suspended Suraju Ibrahim over comments he made against the club and the Ondo State Government.
The suspension was contained in a statement signed by the club’s media officer Isaac Afolabi.
According to the statement, Ibrahim was seen in a viral video making inappropriate comments against his employers.
An internal investigation has been launched to determine the circumstances surrounding this act.
Sunshine Stars described the act as inconsistent with the core values of the team, which are discipline, respect, and professionalism.
“We do not intend to be unnecessarily harsh on any of our hardworking players,” part of the statement reads.
“We will not also tolerate any form of indiscipline from players, individuals whose actions do not reflect the values and intentions of the Owena Whales.
“Everyone associated with the club is expected to uphold its values, especially during this period.”
Sunshine Stars were relegated from the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) following their 2-1 defeat to Niger Tornadoes in Ijebu-Ode on Sunday.
The Owena Whales will square up with El-Kanemi Warriors in the final match of the campaign in Maiduguri.
