Dar es Salaam — The circus surrounding axed Simba’s Mohamed Banka still rages on with the midfielder claiming that the club has yet to compensate him.
Banka, who decided to quit soccer after resisting a proposed loan move to Villa Squad, had a meeting with Simba leaders early this week and agreed on compensation for breach of contract by the former.
The national team, Taifa Stars, player made a remark to counter claims by Simba information officer Ezekiel Kamwaga that the club had already paid all dropped players.”It’s a blatant lie, Simba have neither contacted nor paid me since we last discussed. I am still waiting for the money,” he said.
Banka and defender Meshack Abel were demanding compensation, but the former insisted that none has yet to receive the cash.”I’m shocked by reports that we have been paid, they are misleading the public and I can’t keep quiet,” he stressed.
Banka alongside striker Mohamed Kijuso and defender Haruna Shamte were to be loaned to the promoted outfit while Aziz Gilla and Mbwana Bakari have been loaned to Coastal Union of Tanga.
