Rivers United FC has officially declared Seiyefa Jackson, a registered player for the 2024/2025 NPFL season, Absent Without Leave (AWOL).
According to the club’s media director, Charles Mayuku, “Seiyefa Jackson, a product of the club’s Feeders team, had initially claimed to be sick, but investigations by the club’s medical team revealed no evidence of illness. Despite efforts to verify his claim, the player has since gone into hiding and is no longer responding to communications from the club.”
Mayuku further stated that Jackson has joined Ojodu City FC, an amateur/academy team, without obtaining the necessary clearance or permission from Rivers United FC, constituting a clear breach of his contractual obligations.
“We have formally reported this matter to the relevant authorities, including the Nigeria Football Federation and the Nigeria Premier Football League, and request their urgent intervention,” Mayuku said.
Rivers United FC expressed concern over the growing trend of players disregarding their contractual obligations and abandoning their clubs without permission.
The club is seeking a swift resolution to the matter.
