The General Manager of Mighty Jets International Football Club, Mbum Ferdinand, as termed false the claim of Rangers FC alleged attack in Jos on Sunday saying it’s the handiwork of some unscrupulous individuals just to discredit the very true credibility Jos is known for when it comes to hospitality.
Speaking to www.ssimedia247.com.ng, Mbum Ferdinand reiterates: “I still do not believe that Rangers FC of Enugu were attacked as alleged because the evidence they provided is not convincing enough. More than four persons, who reside in the said Alheri area where the said incident took place told me nothing happened there. Rangers FC just made a mountain out of a mole hill. Eye witness told me that Rangers FC bus was stoned by some small boys and it wasn’t a serious issue and this happened at Ferin Gada. To the best of my knowledge, nothing happened in Alheri.”
The Mighty Jets GM continues: “I don’t know why people will want to politicize the whole issue. If Rangers FC were attacked, let’s have a very clear and convincing evidence that they were attacked. What I’m seeing right now, am heavily doubting if Rangers FC were really truly attacked. Let’s have a clear cut evidence. But if they were truly attacked as claimed, it’s highly condemnable. And we in Jos are not known perpetrating such act. We are not known for this at all. As a matter of fact, teams have come here to pick three maximum points and nothing happened. And that’s why I see no iota of truth in all these allegations. I do not know why it’s now that when a team even pick up a draw all these will be coming out.”
Mr. Mbum Ferdinand concludes: “I believe that whatever is happening now is just a work of mischief makers to discredit our credibility here in Jos and it’s not nice at all.”
Before this 0-0 draw that’s generated alot of heated arguments and spiced by sanctions,fine and points deduction, it would be recalled that Akwa United FC had beaten Plateau United FC at home and nothing happened. Just recently, about some weeks back, in match day 3 to be precise, Niger Tornadoes FC beat Plateau United 2-1 here in Jos.
