The fights also denied our fans the opportunity to witness our players skin Leopards alive,” he claimed.Meanwhile, the club’s team manager Boniface Imbenzi in a separate interview rubbished a suggestion indicating that, they failed in providing adequate security.“The number of security men hired was more than enough. Had the visiting team not been satisfied with security arrangements then, they would have raised it in the pre-match meeting,” he said.
