The incident has attracted widespread condemnation from football stakeholders given that such barbarism has no place in today’s football.
Its not the first time Oumar has been involved in a controversial game this season. Earlier on, he officiated the Dynamo versus Foncha Street FC game which attracted huge criticism of his performance after he chalked off a valid goal scored by Foncha Street FC and awarded a debatable penalty to Dynamo FC.
