Exclusive : Academica Severe Ties With Orji Kalu Okagbue Due To Incomplete Paperwork
Published: July 10, 2014
Academica earlier announced that they had agreed terms with Orji Kalu Okagbue but this was seriously disputed by Heartland of Owerri via their official Twitter account.
The Glo Premier League side were right after all as reports in Portugal indicate that the Students have severed ties with the versatile defender as a result of unresolved contractual problems with Heartland.
The official word from the camp of Academica this morning was that he missed training after picking up an undisclosed ailment, but this website can report authoritatively that there was no International Transfer Certificate in place, so the transfer fell through.
Heartland Media Officer, Cajetan Nkwopara, explained to allnigeriasoccer.com : “Permission was granted to Orji Kalu to attend trials with Academica. When he passed the tests, both him and the club did not discuss with us further.
“His Nigerian manager informed us Academica will get in touch but they did not.”
Orji Kalu Okagbue, who has been at Heartland for the past five years, is tied to the club for the next three seasons.
