The heated competition ended in controversy when the Edo State Fighter was declared the winner, which gave rise to the immediate detention of the Bayelsa team, who accused the officials of bias and unjustified officer. The atmosphere was quickly widening in a noisy scene, with a Bayelsa officer who spread the corner of the civil servants, recording equipment and is threatening physical violence.
The reporter of Sportsrations Nsikakabasi Akpan reports that the match was fiercely disputed, but it was the decision of the judges who caused the anger. The situation escalated to the point that security staff had to intervene to prevent further disruption and to guarantee the safety of athletes, officials and spectators.
The president of the Kickboxing Federation quickly intervened and ordered all athletes and coaches from the auditorium. The remaining competitions for the day were closed behind closed doors to prevent further incidents.
Sources within the federation hinted that investigations would be started into the official fight, while disciplinary measures can follow for those involved in the fight.
The National Sports Festival, intended to promote unity and sportiness between states, will end today in the state of Ogun.
