The LMC also sanctioned the club for abandoning Week 38 game of the Nigeria league in Lafia against Nasarawa United.
Giwa FC refused to continue with the game in 34th minute, forcing referee Ibrahim Ishaku to call off the match at the expiration of the first half.
Stated in LMC’s rules and regulations, the unruly behaviour from the player is against article 13.26 of the Framework and Rules of the Nigeria Professional Football League.
The Jos based team were fined N3million, a deduction of three points and forfeiture of three points and three goals to Nasarawa United for the abandoned Week 38 match.
The club and the players now have 48 hours to either accept the decisions of the LMC or opt for an appearance before a panel.
Giwa finished fifth on the log in the just concluded season and narrowly missed out on a confederation cup ticket.
