This is after spending all day under the scorching sun at the stadium without food to mark the Children’s Day celebration.
Phone calls made to Mr Okan’s contact to hear his side of the incident, as at press time, wasn’t responded to.
Furthermore, NegroidHaven has learnt that there’s ongoing brouhaha between the Commissioner for Sports, Special Adviser for Youth Affairs, Prince Edward Osim, Special Assistant on Youth Matters, Mr Paul Ajie and Special Assistant Sports, Effiom Efiwatt over the same cash. Details will come soon.
