| MFM FC before a match |
The management of Mountain of Fire
and Miracles Ministries FC has disapproved a story on naij.com claiming that the
supporters of the modest Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) side were
caught drinking alcohol at the Agege Stadium on Wednesday March 29, as their
team beat Abia Warriors FC 2-1.
MFM FC supporters were reportedly
taking alcoholic local pile drink popularly called 'jedi' during the Matchday
16 encounter against Abia Warriors but the management of the team led by the
Director of Football, Emmanuel Adeyemi, condemned the report stating that the
supporters of the team are people of good reputation who will never bring the
name of the club to disrepute as a result of any unholy act.
Reacting to the story Adeyemi said:
"Our attention was drawn to a story claiming that our fans were spotted
taking alcohol during our game against Abia Warriors. Well I want to state here
categorically that the story was not accurate because our supporters are very
modest they don't indulge in any unholy act.
"Every fan of the club has proper
knowledge of what the team stand for, they know that drinking of alcohol or
smoking is against our belief and there has never been any case of such in all
our games.
"I will like to use this
opportunity to tell our fans to disregard the story and I want to appreciate
them for their support toward the team. They have been very supportive in all
our matches and we will continue to work hard and we will not disappoint
them," he concluded.
The Lagos-based team is currently
sitting on top of the NPFL table with 30 points from 16 league matches. They
will be up against Nasarawa United FC this weekend in Lafia for Matchday 17
encounter.
