Abud Omar has reacted again after being dropped from the Harambee Stars squad for fighting with Eric Johanna Omondi.

Harambee Stars defender Aboud Omar has caused a stir on social media after posting a cryptic instagram post addressing his feud with Eric Johana Omondi, which left both players sent packing.

Both experienced players, who represented Kenya at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, were excommunicated from camp by coach Engin Firat after they were involved in an altercation.

The coaching staff and team members' attempts to defuse the situation reportedly fell short, prompting a decisive move by the team's management.

In response to the void left by Omar and Johana, the team called up Vincent Mahiga from AFC Leopards and Shariff Musa from Gor Mahia to fill the gaps. 

Additionally , Gor Mahia captain Geoffrey Simiti Onyango was also a late inclusion, replacing the injured Eric ‘Marcelo’ Ouma. 

Abud already responded hours later on Wednesday following the official announcement by posting a story indicating that Johana had angered him while taking part in Ramadan.

Now, he has even created a bigger stir by posting a photoshopped image of him fighting Omondi in a boxing match.

He captioned “Sasa nikipost hii kuna ubaya gani? -What is the harm in posting this?” alongside the image.

Several players from the provisional team were dropped, including Bandari’s David Sakwa and Murang’a Seal’s Bonphas Munyasa.

The focus now shifts to the Harambee Stars' opening match against the host nation, the Malawi Flames, on Saturday, March 23, with further matches against either Zimbabwe or Zambia slated for Tuesday, March 26.
