He recounted his surprise to Footy Africa, stating, “I was surprised by the allegations. After the game, I was accused of match-fixing simply because I made a few mistakes.

I received the letter and was shocked. However, God is in control, and I believe I will come out of this stronger.”

The former Bendel Insurance Goalkeeper unequivocally denied any wrongdoing, asserting that his conduct as a professional footballer speaks for itself.

He added, “I don’t have any issues with anyone within the club. I am a peaceful person, a true professional, and disciplined. That’s why I don’t understand these allegations. I have never been involved in match-fixing in my career.”
