Notably, forward of the Sierra Leone football national team, Moussa Tombo who joined Libya’s Al-Ittihad last week, appealed to be released after hearing gunshots near his residence, in Tripoli.
Tombo, who is keen to return back, has confirmed on video that his return trip ticket has been cancelled by his wife.
The striker is confused regarding his chances of leaving Libya. According to the club, his contract has been signed and sealed already, and he is now an Al-lttihad SC team player for the next two years.
Tombo published a video, in which he brandished a knife, saying, “From now on, anything that will happen to me will be because of my wife and my agent, even if she is exposed to death. Especially as she said to me, ‘OK, when you die, the family will feel pain for losing you, and then I will marry again’.”
