Bayelsa United won their first Premier League title on Sunday, following their 2-2 draw against Warri Wolves at the Oleh Stadium in Delta State.
It was the first time Wolves would drop points at home all-season.
The home side also had a goal that could have given them the victory disallowed late in the second half but a loss for Bayelsa would not have stopped them from winning their first domestic crown after their closest rivals Heartland were defeated by a lone goal by Niger Tornadoes at the MinnaTownship Stadium in Minna.
The result put Bayelsa on 70 points, three, ahead of the second-placed Naze Millionaires who finished with 67 points.
Meanwhile the quartet of Lobi Stars, JUTH, FC Abuja and Nasarawa United have been relegated.
Lobi Stars lost 1-0 to Ocean Boys in Ogharra to confirm their drop to the lower division while JUTH’s 2-0 Akwa United was not enough for them to escape relegation.
Nasarawa United whose relegation had already been confirmed before Sunday’s game failed to show up at Gateway and therefore suffered a walk-over while FC Abuja also lost 2-1 to Enyimba at the Old Parade ground in the Federal Capital Territory.
