The Interim Caretaker Committee of Sunshine Stars Football Club, Ondo State, is aware of a viral video involving a group of youths and one of our players.
The incident occurred on Saturday, 10th May 2025, in Ijebu-Ode, during which inappropriate comments were made about the club and the state government.
An internal investigation has been launched to determine the circumstances surrounding this act, which is inconsistent with the core values of our team which are discipline, respect, and professionalism.
Pending the outcome of the investigation, the club has decided to temporarily suspend the player directly involved, Suraju Ibrahim, for his role in the incident. He will also appear before a disciplinary panel to provide an explanation.
While we do not intend to be unnecessarily harsh on any of our hardworking players, we will not also tolerate any form of indiscipline from players, individuals whose actions do not reflect the values and intentions of the Owena Whales.
Everyone associated with the club is expected to uphold its values,especially during this period.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
