The football administrator did not disclose if he has reported the matter to police.

AFC Leopards Secretary General Gilbert Andugu has sensationally claimed that his life is in danger.

The soft-spoken football administrator made the allegation in a Facebook post on Sunday morning, claiming that some opposing forces have conspired to harm him.

However, the Mombasa-based businessman did not reveal why he was being threatened but indicated that he would not be cowed.

“ God is in control of all those planning to harm my life.It will cost you big,” he wrote.

Andugu was elected as the Leopards secretary general in June last year after seeing off competition from Robert Situma and Tonny Omusina.

He garnered 432 votes to Situma’s 224, while Omusina came a distant third with 49 votes.

Andugu replaced Oliver Sikuku, who was not eligible for re-election after serving the two terms the constitution permitted.

He previously served as chairman of branch heads and during his election he asked the club fans for support on and off the pitch. 

One of the changes that he has brought to the club has been witnessed at its human resource department.

A marketer by profession, Andugu also previously served the club at the Mombasa branch from 2015 and was credited for helping the unit grow its membership.

During that period, he financed the AFC Leopards Junior Team, The Cubs, that once won the Nairobi region league.
