According to credible sources the young girls were forced into adopting the option of leaving the club as they’re going through hard times despite that they have performed creditably well in positioning the club in the highest echelon of female football in the country.

“The hardworking girls and their handlers should by now be swimming in megabucks as they emerged winners of the annual Betsy Obaseki Women Football Tournament in 2023 which they were entitled to the N7million prize money that the winners were promised only for the evil officials of the Edo State Sports Commission to deny the girls the money after it had been approved for payment by the state government.
