MFM FC speaks on road accident

Media Officer of MFM FC, Olawale Quadri said on Sunday that the team was safe and sound after they were involved in an accident at Akungba, Ondo State.

The players and official were returning from Jos after the Match Day 5 fixtures of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL).

“The accident was unfortunate, but we thank God that no one sustained serious injury. I have read some reports that our coach was injured, nothing of such happened.
