Chibuike Nwaiwu, a prominent player for the nine-time Nigerian Professional Football League champions, Enyimba F.C., has been thrust into the spotlight after he was pictured training in Israel. This revelation follows the recent declaration by the club that Nwaiwu was wanted, accusing him of absconding from team duties.
The 20-year-old defensive midfielder, who joined Enyimba from Heartland last year, had quickly become a regular presence in the Aba side. However, just three days ago, the club's media manager, Mr. David Orji, issued an official statement declaring Nwaiwu wanted, raising questions about the circumstances surrounding his departure.
New images have surfaced, depicting Nwaiwu actively engaged in training with an undisclosed club outside the African continent. This development has ignited a flurry of speculation and inquiries among fans and media personalities on social media, as the mystery deepens.
Enyimba, in their official statement, emphasized that Nwaiwu remains a legitimate member of the team, as he is still under a legally binding contract and has not been released or engaged in negotiations to join another club. This assertion contradicts the visual evidence of the player's current training sessions with an undisclosed team, suggesting the possibility that he may be on trial for a potential move away from Finidi George's side.
The timing of this revelation adds another layer of intrigue, considering Enyimba's recent exit from the maiden African Football League quarter-finals against Moroccan side Wydad Casablanca. Despite the disappointment of the loss, the club pocketed a million dollars in compensation for reaching that stage of the tournament.
As speculation grows and questions linger, the football community awaits official statements from both Enyimba and the mysterious club hosting Chibuike Nwaiwu's training sessions.
