The long awaiting tournament organised by the Kombo South Sports Committee will soon kick off after the conflict was resolved as the Committee and the District authorities finally met and solved the problem with immediate effect.
Speaking on the occasion, the PRO of Kombo South Sports Committee, Mr. Lamin Jarju, expressed concern and worries over the pending tournament as it was deferring them from further activities. He appealed to the authorities and villages to come to terms and solved this regrettable incident.
In his remarks Alhaji Kebba JaJa Bojang, the Alkalo of Jambur Village in Kombo South, advised the youth and organising Committee to be peace-loving. "As a former footballer I was really feeling bad to see that the tournament was pending due to a riot between same Villages," he said.
