Ezekiel Owade: Another goalkeeper that is trapped in the alleged game fixation scandal

• Match fixing has long been a significant problem in the Premier League of Football Kenya Federation (FKF)
• The latest case is the goalkeeper Ezekiel Owade, who is now in the spotlight for the wrong reason after it has been associated with a match fixing scandal
• This comes only two months after the former Tusker goalkeeper Patrick Matasi was named in a similar case

In the past two months, the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has been a difficult challenge in dealing with match-fixing cases in which goalkeepers are involved in some of which played for top kenian clubs.

The most recent incident concerns the goalkeeper Ezekiel Owade, which was caught in a suspected game fixation scandal, only a month after the former Tusker FC shot stopper Patrick Matasi was caught in a similar case.

Matasi was involved in a likeable scandal towards the end of March of this year after a video was said to have appeared an unidentified person in which he discussed how to manipulate the result of a game.

The scandal prompted Kenya Football, FKF, Matasi to suspend for three months.

However, the goalkeeper brought the matter to court, and after his case had been negotiated, a court order was granted to him, the FKF prevented him from preventing him from participating in club activities.

Hesekiel Owade remembered in the alleged match fixing scandal

A month after Matasi's judgment, another Kenyan goalkeeper, Ezekiel Owade, now for the wrong reasons, trends now.

In a video that a sports journalist, Kevin Ole Teya shared on his X account, the former youth goalkeeper from Muhoroni, Owade, was captured in a video in which he was ready for the job over the weekend and would admit two goals at halftime to confirm that this was the agreement.

“Hello, owade here – your goalkeeper. I am ready for the job over the weekend to admit two goals in the first half. That is,” said Owade.

Reaction of Kenyans

@Felixmotende reacts,

“We saw his face. I don't believe in punishment – I believe in liberation from stupidity and mediocrity. Before we ruin the reputation of the good league that we now enjoy if this type only goes for 6 months, it is not enough. Let it look for money elsewhere and let this be a lesson.

@Carlo_too said:

“Instead of fighting against the results, we deal with the causes, one of them is player salaries and team functions in financial matters. Some of these players do not participate for greed, but for food.”

@Eucarmiles explained,

“The match fixation is widespread in Kenyan football.”

@HotshotCreative said

“Very discouraging for the development of talents. It is most disappointing.”

@Mcogingaphelix reacts,

Schnitzel hunt. Nobody plays for the badge because this does not start any bills.

@Itskaizerchief asked,

“Will that ever end?”
