A cold war is brewing between Plateau United coach Bitrus Bewarang and his Kwara United counterpart, Kadiri Ikhana, over the transfer of Plateau’s trio of George Akpabio, Stanley Dimgba and Ahmed Mohammed.
Kwara is placed fifth on the table while newly promoted Plateau United remain rooted at the bottom of the table after struggling throughout the first round of the league.
Four-goal hero and top scorer, Akpabio, enterprising winger, Dimgba and imposing central defender, Mohammed have been training with other new players as Ikhana continues to fortify his squad ahead of the second round which begins on Wednesday, April 6.
According to SuperSport.com, Bewarang, whose side appears comfortable at the bottom of the 20-team log, is unhappy with his long-time friend. “Bewarang complained that Ikhana has lured Akpabio and Dimgba, who are his best scorers at a time Plateau United is at the bottom of the table and require their services to stay above relegation waters. In fact, he sent a text message to Ikhana on the issue,” a source close to the struggling Jos side disclosed.
