Primate Ayodele sends message to Chelsea
Primate Ayodele, in a video which has gone viral on X, warned Chelsea to be careful of a possible fire outbreak or destruction at Stamford Bridge.
“Stamford field, stadium, Stamford stadium, let them watch against a fire outbreak or anything that can cause violence or damage at Stamford stadium,” he said.
