Katsina United Raise Alarm Over Uche Collins’ Disappearance, Threaten Legal Action for Poaching
Katsina United Football Club has declared their star striker, Uche Collins, Absent Without Official Leave (AWOL) after he allegedly abandoned the team and went into hiding.
According to reports, Uche, who is currently Katsina United’s top scorer, last played for the club on February 22nd in an NPFL match against Rangers at the Mohammad Dikkio Stadium in Katsina. Since then, he has been unreachable and has vacated the club’s accommodation without notice.
Club chairman, Alhaji Surajo Umar Baba, revealed that Uche is in breach of contract and is suspected to be in discussions with a European club.
“The player has been absent from the club’s activities without official permission since February 22nd, 2026, when he participated in our match against Rangers International Football Club,” Surajo said.
“We’ve received rumors that he’s in talks with a European club, but let me make it clear: Uche Collins is a Katsina United player, and he has a binding contract with us until end of 2026/2027 Football season,” the chairman emphasized.
“We warn any club entertaining the idea of poaching him to think twice, lest they face legal consequences and disciplinary action.”
Baba further stated, “Uche’s actions are a clear breach of contract, contravening NPFL regulations, the Commercial Framework, and FIFA’s rules. We’re taking this very seriously and have reported the matter to the relevant authorities.”
Katsina United has requested that Uche’s International Transfer Certificate be withheld until the matter is resolved.
“We appreciate the support of our fans and stakeholders and assure them of our commitment to resolving this matter in accordance with the rules and regulations governing the sport,” Surajo concluded.
