Dolphins Appeal To Security Forces

General Manager of Dolphins Football Club, Joe Johnson has called on security forces in the state to provide better service to state run football clubs.

 

Speaking in view of recent development in the state, Johnson said the football clubs need more concentration and focus and the attacks on them will do more harm than good to the players and state as a whole.

 

“We remember that just about a week ago the coach of Sharks FC, Gbenga Ogunbote was attacked by unknown gun men, an incident that left him hospitalized for five days. His attackers are yet to be apprehended.

 

“Just yesterday (Thursday), our own coach, Stanley Eguma escaped from the claws of armed young men at the Port Harcourt Liberation Stadium just as the team was rounding off its training session and this is not cheering news at all,” Johnson said.

 

“If we are not guaranteed security, our training sessions will definitely be affected and subsequently our CAF Confederation Cup games,” John said.

 

Dolphins start the league with a home game against Kwara United on Saturday at the Port Harcourt Liberation Stadium.
