After a crucial meeting which ended at about 11am Thursday, the Management of Warri Wolves Football Club decided to give embattled Nigerian Afcon 2013 hero, Sunday Mba a provisional release to Rangers International Football Club so he can play this weekend’s CAF  Champions League match against Angola.

In a statement signed by the Media officer of the club, Moses Etu, The Management said, “having actually listened to the pleas from well meaning Nigerians, especially, the Nigeria Football Federation we wish to state, for the avoidance of doubt, that Sunday Mba remains a player of Warri Wolves and all financial and federating rights remain with Warri Wolves.”
The club went further to say that what it was doing was “in the interest of the nation and also, not to put the career of Mba in jeopardy.”
The release letter was signed by the Secreatary of the club, Lawrence Omowho and sent to  the Nigeria Football Federation.
However, Rangers flew out to Angola for a Champions League tie Thursday without Super Eagles Afcon star Sunday Mba and Emeka Ezeh due to a passport hassle.
Both players were on the final 18-man squad for this Saturday’s Champions league third round second leg match against Recreativo Libolo, but they were dropped at the Murtala Mohammed Airport in Lagos Thursday afternoon after the German embassy could not release their passports submitted earlier by the NFF for Eagles training tour of Germany
