Amoo Abayomi, A Saving Grace For Tourists

Nigeria Premier Football League Match Day Seven (7) between Abia Warriors and Wikki Tourist of Bauchi witnessed a mild drama which could have escalated into a sordid clash at the end of the said game in Aba.

 The game which ended one-all witnessed no ugly incidence before and during the game, however, an incident greeted the aftermath of the encounter which lasted for two hours.

One Obinna Orji, a former player of Wikki Tourist suddenly appeared and held the visitors hostage on their way out of the mainbowl.

He claimed that Wikki Tourist are indebted to him to the tune of One Million Five Hundred Thousand naira (1,500, 000). He brought out the evidence to support his claim.

Suddenly, his boys popped up and refused the visitors to leave the arena demanding the full payment of the debt. 

The team were helpless even with the security personnels on ground. That was when the Match Commissioner from Osun, named Amoo Abayomi wade in.

He persuaded both sides to have a written agreement on how the money will be paid and to be endorsed by host FA as witness. He equally ensured that commitment fee of fifty thousand naira is paid instantly into the account of Obinna Orji whose accumulated salary remain unpaid since 2012.

The Match Commissioner, being a pragmatic administrator, a problem solver and integrity personified later secured the release of the away team.

Wikki Tourist are not having it rossy in the current campaign following the abysmal performances but a point on the road isn't a bad result going into their next game.
