Plateau United General Manager Denies Alleged Order to Abduct JAY FM Sports Presenter, Mr. Mbum Ferdinand

Disbelief followed the news that the Plateau United General Manager, Mr. Pius Henwan ordered “his thugs” to abduct a Sports Journalist and Presenter of JAY 101.9 FM, Jos over his comments on a Radio Show on Saturday Evening which prompted *SCORENigeria* to speak to the accused.

Mr. Pius while speaking to *SCORENigeria* was quick to deny the allegations while also clarifying the situation of things as it related to the bonuses due to the players 

He told www.scorenigeria.com.ng, “I did not order anyone’s abduction neither was I aware such. Immediately i got wind of what had happened, I made it to the Police Station where we were able to resolve the issue.”

About the allegations levied against him, Mr. Henwan said, “However, I am very embittered by his report as Plateau United are yet to receive the bonuses promised by the government of Plateau State for our achievement in the NPFL last season.”

He continued, “Yes, It is true that the players were not paid bonuses after the win against Etoile de Sahel at the Sani Abacha Stadium and it wasn’t simply because the bonus was based on progressing to the CAF Champions League Group Stage and not just winning the match in question.”

The Sports Administrator appeared disappointed that a professional journalist who could have called him to confirm the allegations went on air with comments that were capable of creating an uproar within the team.

He also promised to get to the root of the event that took place on Saturday where individuals found wanting would face full consequences of their actions.

He said, “In light of Saturday’s unfortunate event, I have set up committee to look into and recommend action moving forward on the actions of the Supporters Club Chairman who led hooligans to abduct Mr Ferdinand. I have reputation to protect so there is no chance I would get myself involved in this sort of mess.”

He concluded by taking responsibility for the actions of the Supporters Clubs Chairman, saying, “I however take full responsibility of the actions and dully apologize  for the actions of the Supporters Club Chairman who has dragged the name of the club in mud.”
