Akwa United hereby notifies the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), the Nigeria National League (NNL), as well as all clubs, agents, and intermediaries, that any negotiations or transfer arrangements involving Etim Charles without the club's written approval are unauthorized and undertaken entirely at the parties' own risk.
