Abia Warriors have dismissed the insinuations in some quarters that the immediate past coach, Felix Okey Emordi was assaulted after the match against El-Kanemi Warriors of Maiduguri last weekend and forced to resign his appointment as the Technical Adviser of the Umuahia-based club.
The statement of the club read: “The truth remains that this rumour is a figment of the imagination of those who peddled them as the gaffer was never insulted or assaulted by anybody prior to his resignation.
“In the letter he wrote to our chairman where he announced his decision to quit, Emordi clearly stated that he left as a result of poor results the team recorded under him, so we wonder where the insinuations are coming from.
“To demonstrate the good relationship that still exists between him and Abia Warriors, the coach was conveyed home with Abia Warriors Official vehicle and wished well as he left Umuahia .
“Newsmen are still free to verify their facts with officials of Abia Warriors before publishing in order not to create unnecessary tension in the system.”
