Okejepha’s farewell message comes after Simba SC confirmed his signing earlier today, reportedly paying $250,000 for the transfer, with Omoefe set to earn N9 million monthly.
Recall that Footballrover had earlier reported that the 20-year-old defensive midfielder caught the eyes of Simba SC with his impressive qualities and achievements on the field.
The former Kano Pillars stars only featured in 26 games for Rivers United last season before his move to Tanzanian Premier League on a three-year contract.
