The NPFL also ordered the Seasiders to play their remaining home matches this season behind closed doors as part of the punishment.

The NPFL said the club failed to provide adequate and effective security, allowing unauthorized persons access to restricted areas.

Warri Wolves supporters also engaged in unsporting behaviour capable of bringing the game into disrepute and showed gross misconduct towards match officials, causing a 10-minute delay in the match.

The NPFL directed Warri Wolves to apprehend and prosecute those responsible for the incidents and submit evidence of action taken.

Warri Wolves have 48 hours from the date of notice to appeal the sanctions.
