Giwa FC were unable to honour NPFL fixtures against Wikki Tourist in Illorin, Akwa United and Enyimba which led to their ban from the league.

The Chris Giwa owned club was banished to Ilorin to play three consecutive home games after disturbances in its match day 12 game.

They were also fined the sum of N250, 000 as expenses for stadium hire, security and other logistics the LMC incurred for the match against Enyimba and also N10m for failing to honour that fixture with Enyimba, Giwa FC.
