Suspended footballer Ezekiel Odera is calling for a swift resolution of his 16-month-long match-fixing case, which has cast a shadow over his career.
Odera, who was initially banned from football-related activities following the allegations, has expressed frustration at the prolonged legal process and its impact on his professional life.
The case, which dates back to 2023, revolves around accusations that Odera was involved in manipulating match outcomes for financial gain.
Despite the ongoing investigation, Odera has maintained his innocence and is seeking a fair and expedited hearing to clear his name. “This case has gone on for far too long, and it’s affecting my ability to continue my career,” said Odera in a recent statement.
