FKFPL Gor Mahia midfielder earns call up to Uganda Cranes squad
The Gor Mahia rising star has earned a Uganda Cranes call-up ahead of games against Mali and Zambia.
Agesa's unfortunate saga began when he was introduced to an Ivorian agent through his former coach in Kenya. The coach, who was familiar with Agesa's capabilities, played a pivotal role in connecting him with the agent.
Despite the initial excitement and what appeared to be a legitimate opportunity, Agesa's dreams quickly turned into a nightmare.
"Everything was agreed upon, and we discussed the formalities. I was to get a lucrative contract with a top-tier side in Malaysia. We proceeded, and I received the invitation from the agency, which is located in Malaysia. So from then, we had to process the flight ticket, which I had to process myself again. I had to pay to the agent a service fee for the services that I had to get direct signing to the club,” Agesa narrated to Kenya Footballers Welfare Association (KEFWA).

FOOTBALL 11-year-old footballer shoots teammates after altercation in training over crisps [VIDEO]
The footballer produced a gun from a car and then shot at his teammates because they were fighting over crisps at the car park on Monday night.
Upon arriving at the Malaysia airport, Agesa found himself in a bewildering situation. Despite assurances from the agent, there was no one to receive him. Frustrated and left waiting until midnight, he eventually had to find a hotel to stay in. As days turned into weeks and months, Agesa remained in Malaysia, with the promised opportunity slipping further away.
"As I was waiting, the more I stayed, it came to my notice that something is amiss. It became a stressful situation, and I tried to go to the embassy, but there was not much on their side. But KEFWA came through and organized everything. They organized for my way back. I urge players out there to know true and fake agents,” he continued.
