Junior Agogo was sacked because of drugs – Paa Joe Kumah

Former Great Olympics striker paa Joe Kumah has shockingly claimed that Ghanaian striker Junior Manuel Agogo was sacked by Apollon Limassol because he was fully in drugs.

Paa Joe Kumah revealed this serious allegation in a recent interview two years after the striker passed on. Junior Agogo died in 2019 at a London hospital at the age of 40.

In 2011, Agogo was sacked by the Cyprus club, but reports at the time claimed that the team took that decision due to his abysmal performance and serious knee injury.

Meanwhile, Kumah, a former Black Star striker has disputed those reasons.

Kumah told SVTV “I was in the same city with Junior Agogo. A management member must have seen him using drugs always,the drugs were too much .I was there, so they had pay the rest of the money since his contract had not expired,that’s why Agogo left Apollon .

Junior Agogo joined Apollon in 2009 after an exit from Egyptian side Zamalek because of unpaid wages.

He was handed a a bumper deal by the Cyprus side.

Junior Agogo, who played for Ghana during the 2008 African cup of nations hosted by Ghana, suffered a stroke and recovered before dying.

He scored 12 goals in 27 games for the senior national team Black Stars of Ghana between 2006 and 2009.
