The new General Manager of Nigeria Professional Football League side, Kano Pillars FC, Ahmed Musa has denied claim on social media that he distributed cars to the players of the team on assumption of office.

A viral post on the social media on Tuesday morning indicated that Musa gave all the players and officials of Kano Pillars new land cruiser cars on assumption of office.

But the former Super Eagles captain in a post on his X handle described the claim as entirely untrue.

He also advised media outlets and people on social media to always verify information to ensure that it is credible before sharing.
