Edo Queens Declare Comfort Folorunsho AWOL, Warn Rival Clubs

Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) champions, Edo Queens, have declared their player, Comfort Folorunsho, Absent Without Official Leave (AWOL) after she left the club without notification despite having an active contract.

Edo Queens Issue Strong Warning

In an official statement released on Thursday, the Benin-based club revealed that Folorunsho packed her belongings and disappeared, failing to inform management of her departure.

The club has issued a stern warning to other teams not to engage the player without proper clearance, emphasizing their willingness to release her through professional channels if an interested club follows due process.

“The said player still has a running contract with Edo Queens FC, hence she has no right to leave without officially informing the club of her whereabouts.”

“This notice is to warn clubs not to engage her services without due clearance from Edo Queens FC.”

What Could Be Behind Her Sudden Exit? 🤔

While no official reason has been given for Folorunsho’s disappearance, cases like this often arise due to:
✅ Disputes over contracts/salaries
✅ Desire for a move to another club
✅ Personal or family reasons
✅ Miscommunication with management

What’s Next?

If another NWFL or foreign club signs her without clearance, Edo Queens could take legal action or escalate the matter to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
