On December 21, 2019, the Baba Dogo grounds in Nairobi hosted the Michael Olunga Tournament, a football event that brought together teams from various parts of the city.
However, the tournament was marred by controversy when a former Gor Mahia midfielder was accused of stealing a banner.
According to a reliable source, the player, who had previously been regarded as one of the best defensive midfielders in Kenya, had a history of disciplinary issues that led to his departure from the club the previous year.
The source revealed that the player had participated in this year's edition of the tournament and had stolen a banner earlier in the week.
‘He pulled a banner after a game on Tuesday and went away with it. We had to follow up with some senior people and recovered it,’ the source said in an interview with Nairobi News.
The source also alleged that the player felt disgruntled towards Michael Olunga, his former teammate at Gor Mahia, claiming that Olunga no longer supported him financially.
‘He is still the same undisciplined person he was during his active playing days. He complains that Olunga no longer receives his calls nor supports him despite ‘helping’ him join Gor Mahia in 2015,’ the source stated.
