Arteta: Katsina United Refutes Throat-Slitting Allegation Against Barau FC Player

Katsina United has strongly refuted allegations that their fans slit the throat of Barau FC player Nana Abraham during a NPFL match, dismissing the claims as “fabricated lies.” The club presented video evidence showing the player after the match, alleging that fake bandages were used to create a false narrative of severe injury.

Key Points:

Katsina United denied that fans attacked or injured Abraham
The club released videos showing a player with “fake bandages falling off.”
Accused Barau FC of fabricating the throat-slitting story
Claimed Abraham’s teammates shielded him from cameras post-match
Incident occurred during the NPFL Matchday 12 encounter
League authorities are expected to investigate the violence claims
Earlier reports claimed Abraham sustained a deep neck cut

As conflicting accounts emerge about the stadium violence, this denial creates a storm of credibility questions—where video evidence and eyewitness reports collide in the search for truth.
