NPFL: Heartland declare defender Afolayan missing
Nigeria Premier Football League side Heartland have declared defender Peter Afolayan Absent Without Official Leave.
Heartland made the declaration in a statement signed by the club’s management.
The Naze Millionaires’ Chief Coach, Charles Uzor, noted that Afolayan remains unreachable, with his whereabouts unknown.
Heartland, however, warned members of the public against conducting any football-related business with the player or his representative, as it could lead to double registration.
They stated that the player remains a bona fide member of the team with a running contract until the 2025-26 season.
Part of the statement reads: “Heartland are using this medium to inform football clubs both outside and within Nigeria that our central defender, Peter Afolayan, who was last seen at the end of the first stanza on December 28, 2024, has been missing.
“Afolayan is a bona fide player of Heartland, with a running contract until the 2025-26 season.
“The club warns members of the public against conducting any football-related business with the player or his representative, as it could lead to double registration, with all its attendant consequences and penalties, since he is still under a valid contract with Heartland.”
