“We paid Rangers N3.5million for Sunday Mba and we have evidence” – Warri Wolves

       

As the tussle for the ownership of Sunday Mba rages on, Warri Wolves have claimed they paid N3.5million into a Rangers top official’s private account, as payment for the transfer of the midfielder.

This was revealed by Moses Etu, the media officer for Wolves, on a radio programme on Monday. He stated the said amount was paid into the account of the general manager of Rangers, Paul Chibuzor, who instructed them to do so

.

“We have all the documents regarding all our dealings with Rangers with regards to Sunday Mba. We got a provisional clearance from Rangers on Sunday Mba when he joined us and we paid the sum of N3.5m to Rangers through the private account of the GM of the club, Paul Chibuzor who instructed us to make such payment,” he said.

“It is laughable that after selling a player to us they still come to lay claim to him just because he performed well at the Nations Cup and clubs are after him with mouth-watering offers.

“We are resolute in our claim that Mba is our player and we are ready to give Rangers the 30% sell-on clause attached to his release whenever we sell him to a foreign club.”

However, Foster Chime, the Rangers media officer Foster Chime has debunked such allegations.

“It is stale news. In Abuja, the GM tendered documents and bank tellers with regard to payments made by Wolves. At no time was any money paid in respect of Sunday Mba, but for Togolese defender Busari Akinsola and it was never paid to the GM’s personal account. The G.M has even started legal proceedings against Moses Etu for defamation,” he said.
