“The president had called a meeting and wished, at the outset, that this meeting is the exchange during which everyone should try to explain the reasons for the impasse of the club African competition. Meantime, I had time to observe strong changes in my state of balance, without any explanation.I perceived my salary now sawtooth, if I take my salary today 1.million francs, I could touch 1100. 000 francs tomorrow or even below. This is why I asked to speak during the meeting. Not only that it had been denied vehemently with the passage of public insults worthy of a workhorse, President Opiangah came off and jumped on me while pummeling me in the presence of the entire world, which followed this sad spectacle that I regret and I denounce to the latest strength. Yes, Opiangah boxed me … “
“Because this is the first time a club president beats me and brutalizes me since the seven (7) years of my professional football career. In the afternoon of Wednesday, March 13, I got to my hotel (Hotel Sossa in Rasel neighborhood) the unexpected visit of four strangers who demanded me my passport. “
“Given my opposition to their injunctions, the club’s president has sent this time on 14 March, four officers of BRAC (Anti Criminal research Brigade) that bullied me to give them my passport. I refused; they were not already in uniform. They began to bully me while pummeling agents to the hotel and I felt exhausted during one hour of high-struggle. I was finally snatched the passport and they handcuffed me in demanding me to give them my second passport. “

The latter told us that it had a mission to wrench my passport which would be currently in the hands of the president of the club. “
