The
management of Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) club, Rivers United
have announced that striker, Onyekachi Okafor has absconded from the camp of
the team.
Okafor was
duly registered to play for United this season having arrived from another NPFL
side, Warri Wolves at the end of last season.
Speaking to
Rivers United media, secretary of the club, Ahmed Abdulrahman expressed regret
at the action of Okafor.
“Okafor was
registered to play for Rivers United this season during the first transfer
window. We were therefore shocked to learn that he (Okafor) went absent without
official leave (AWOL) and all efforts to trace his whereabouts have proved
abortive.
“This is
certainly worrisome especially at this stage (of the season) when we are
fighting on several fronts to make Rivers United the foremost football club in
Nigeria,” Abdulrahman said.
Rivers
United currently sits in seventh place on the NPFL standings with 13 points
from nine matches.
