Warri Wolves report Ibenegbu, Osadiaye, Aziz to LMC

The management of Warri Wolves has reported Enyimba FC trio of Ibenegbu Ikechukwu, Osadiaye Joseph and Abu Aziz to the relevant authorities for assaulting their General Manager Etu Moses at the Umuhaia Stadium in a rescheduled league match on Sunday.

The club’s Media Manager Azuka Chiemeka told Sportinglens.blogspot that Etu reported the case immediately after the match on Sunday.

It is understood that the players vent their on Etu to protest their outstanding signing on fees, and some of their match bonuses cash while with the Warri Wolves last season.

Chiemeka accused the management of Enyimba FC for not providing enough protection for officials, players and fans of Warri Wolves.

Chiemeka said: " Before the team left their hotel to the venue of the match, Mr Etu got a call from Ibenegbu  threatening to deal with him for not paying the said owned salaries and warned him not to come anywhere near the stadium. Our GM informed the chairman of  Enyimba (Anyasi Agu) on the purported threats but he gave Etu the assurance that all was well and that the players have been cautioned to desist from carrying out their threats and that was the reason Mr Etu went to the stadium and he was eventually beaten up and in the process lost valuable personal properties, and beside the attack on our GM, some of our players and officials and supporters that made the trip equally sustained injuries and as well lost their valuables such as phones, jewelries e.t.c.,"

Chiemaka added: “I will commend the effort of the chairman of Enyimba for the action he has taken over the incident but sincerely this is medicine after death. All this would have been averted if they had done enough items of protecting the visiting team. Supporter of Warri Wolves as well as officials is not happy over this incident and Enyimba management should note that they have a date with Wolves in Warri and as such should endeavour to reconcile both clubs before that encounter.”
