Enyimba attacking midfielder, Ikechukwu Ibenegbu has described as outright smear campaign on his person the claims of attack by Warri Wolves top shot, Moses Etu.
Etu said the Nigerian ace viciously attacked him over sundry club matter after his side 1-2 loss at Enyimba in the rescheduled Nigerian top-flight matchday 10 clash at the Umuahia Township Stadium.
Ibenegbu said he merely walked to the former boss to know his reasons for refusing to pay him the outstanding five-match bonuses rightly earned as player of Warri Wolves.
“There is absolutely no reasons or truth behind his claim that I attacked him after the rescheduled league match against his side in Umuahia.

“I only walked to him to know why he has refused to pay me my hard earned five-match bonuses as player of the side.
“Prior to the Sunday’s incident in Umuahia he had told me pointedly that he will not pay me the outstanding should I leave the club.
“He actually pleaded with me to play for him but I told him that I have made up my mind to leave the club.
“Already I have it on good authority that he has paid the match bonuses in question and even the current ones to the serving players yet he never stopped telling me that government has not released money to the club.
“So I merely walked to him to get answers for his refusal to pay me only for him to harshly ask me to leave his path.”
