The match was scheduled to hold at the Old Parade Ground, Abuja, but TEAP failed to show up in line with their earlier resolve to pull out of the ongoing league season.
Three goals and three points were awarded to the Kaduna-based side who has moved to the fourth position on the log with 43 points. Plateau United also with 43 points and plus 10 goals advantage place third as Kwara United is second on the log also with 43 points and plus 19 goals advantage while Wikki Tourists of Bauchi maintain lead with 47 points from 26 games.
TEAP FC had announced their decision to withdraw from the league alleging that the league has been compromised but the NNL board which denied the allegation also reminded them of the existing undertaking that forbids any team to pullout at any point in time.
The Abuja-based club did not show up for the match against Bees, in which they were hosts, leaving the match officials with no other option but to go ahead with the walk-over.
NNL secretary, Lawrence Katken acknowledged the match walk-over but hinted that the board will meet next week to take a stand on the unfortunate position of TEAP among other things.
“TEAP FC were walked-over by Ranchers Bees in Abuja on Wednesday and the mandatory three goals and three points have been awarded to the side.
“The board will meet next week in Abuja to discuss the ugly development as well as other critical matters affecting the league.
“I’m sure nobody is happy including TEAP FC themselves over the unfortunate development because our honest wish is to decide the losers and winners of the league on the field of play,” said Katken.
TEAP FC are placed 15th on the log with 28 points
