However, when approached for further details about the termination, the goalkeeper declined to elaborate. “Sorry, I don’t want to talk about this now, thanks.

Before his stint in Sudan, Olorunleke was a standout performer for Enyimba FC, playing a pivotal role in their historic ninth NPFL title win.
