Akwa United are back in contention in the Akwa Ibom State Football Association Cup after they won their protest against debutants Algon Boys.
Algon Boys defeated Akwa United 3-1 in the quarter-final match on Friday, but the non-league side have, however, been kicked out of the competition following a protest filed by the Promise Keepers on the eligibility of goalkeeper Imo Emmanuel.
Imo is said to be a bonafide player of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) side, and has been training with the club since October 2018 though he has not played any official game for them.
