In a telephone interview with the Graphic Sports, from his base at Wa yestereday Panwum said The club had appointed Abubakar Mumuni Sokpari as an interim coach till the end of the season.
“I will also like to put on record that we asked Coach Adepa to step aside until further notice and not what is circulating around that we sacked him.
“The club is yet to come out with an official statement, so I don’t know why people keep reporting that Wa All Stars sacked Coach Adepa,” Panwum lamented.
