“They told the team that there is no money for a chartered flight. And CAF is insisting on the match holding this Wednesday.”

“The team is hoping that chief Onyema of Air Peace will come to the team’s rescue by tomorrow,”

“Initially, the team was hoping to leave via Turkish Airline on Saturday but only to be told that we should head back to Aba from Abuja that the match might be postponed by CAF to Friday.”

“Enyimba’s chairman was hoping for a postponement, but CAF has said no, that the match must be played on the stipulated day.”

“The chairman is perplexed as to what to do right now and the governor is not helping the situation either. The team does not know what to do now.”
