Foroyaa Sport has been informed that a player has been arrested for
allegedly vandalizing part of the toilet at the Manjai Sports Complex.
The player, (name withheld) was arrested after his
team Manka Football Club’s lost to Ajax in the zone’s Nawettan
qualifiers.Apparently not pleased with the defeat, he is said to have
caused some destruction, according to a source.
Angered by the player’s alleged actions, the Manjai Sports Committee
decided to ensure his apprehension by the police.
The said player, who is still held in detention, has been asked to
repair the damage he had caused, according to the source.
This is the first such incident affecting Manjai football, a zone
whose Nawettan is blighted by an ongoing feud between Manjai Youth
Development Association (MYDA) and the sports committee of the
complex.
In a separate development regarding the area, the MYDA attorney B.Y.
Camara has petitioned the Kanifing Municipality Regional Sports
Committee to carefully investigate the protracted furor including the
sports committee’s recent elections.
A meeting between the contending factions and the KMC was on to
discuss the issue as we went to press yesterday.]]>
