The petit midfielder scored a brilliant goal for his first this season, he removed his jersey in the cause of celebration and he got booked by the centre referee, Abdullahi Shuaibu.
According to the LMC FrameWork section C ‘A player who receives five (5) yellow cards at different matches during the season shall be suspended for the next immediate match after the fifth caution.
Madu, who has featured in 34 NPFL games this season will be missing his first league game this season.
He has been a brilliant and consistent player all season, he worked every day to score and he got it against Rivers United with a beautiful strike. He got carried away when celebrating and we can’t fault his emotions.
He is an important player, but we have the capable replacement. It is unfortunate that he can’t play but he will not be missed,” Rangers manager, Imama Amapakabo .
