His words Do you know they were owing him? Except he was paid recently, they owed him for years and they have the audacity to express grief over his death. What a shame.
Dr. Mohammed debunked the story, stressing that they neither owed Chukwu nor any coach for that matter, challenging anyone with proof to come forward because as a credible organization that is very much alive to its responsibilities, if we are confronted with any genuine document of indebtedness to any coach, we will offset the debt immediately.
