In the post, Nwabali shared a picture of himself looking so sad.
His post reads: ”I deeply apologise to Nigerians. I was once a fan, still a fan and I understand how it feels giving you a disappointing night. We take full responsibility. Thanks for the whole support till the end. I love you all “
Nwabali plays his club football for Chippa United of South Africa and he’s expected to return to his club side any moment from now.
