Players of FC Robo, a Nigeria Women’s Football League (NWFL) team, have been attacked by gunmen along Ijebu-Ode road in Ogun state.

TheCable understands that the team was attacked around 10pm on Tuesday night.

Players and officials of the Lagos-based club were heading to Agbor, Delta state, for their week seven match against Delta Queens.
