The name of Abubakar Adams has come up in conversations Aduana Stars were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.
“The easiest signature of my career.” Ekebuike James and Aduana Stars agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Aduana Stars, and both men came out saying it was fine.
