Urieley explained that he gave his partner US$1 000 for rentals and upkeep of the players during their trials in Zimbabwe, which he misused.
âI donât have time to waste with Gomba because he is a crook. I donât want any agent who cheats players. Those are professional players and they should report Gomba to the police. I gave him a lot of money for the upkeep of the players, but I am told they never got anything. I gave him over US$1 000,â he told Zimbabwean portal NewsDay.
âI thought Gomba was a genuine agent until I started to hear all these stories. I am a businessman so I donât want to be involved in deals that tarnish my image.â
The four playersâ Peter Tibila (24), Francis Adjetey (23), John Adu Poku (22) and Nelson Adenyo (23) â are holed up in the Makondo area of Tshovani suburb with their fate unknown.
The players arrived in Zimbabwe on January 16, 2020 but are now clueless of their next step especially after the Zimbabwean government announced a prolonged lockdown due to Coronavirus.
