Kenya Police midfielder Mohammed Bajaber has responded strongly to online mockery following FKF Cup exit.

Kenya Police FC midfielder Mohammed Bajaber has responded to online ridicule following his team's shock FKF Cup exit at the hands of Mara Sugar FC on Sunday at Dandora Stadium.

The match, which ended 1-1 in regular time, was decided by penalties, where Bajaber missed a crucial spot-kick, leading to their elimination.

What Happened?

The aftermath of the exit saw Mara Sugar’s Facebook page share a photo of Bajaber appearing to struggle against striker Noah Jagongo, insinuating the midfielder was outclassed.

However, the narrative painted by the post was misleading.

The image failed to show that Bajaber had tripped momentarily but quickly recovered to stop Jagongo with a decisive tackle moments later.

Bajaber responded via his Instagram story, posting a screenshot of the Mara Sugar post followed by the full video clip of the incident.

Bjaber's caption read, “Do not watch football on social media,” highlighting that the incomplete footage was misleading.

Despite the FKF Cup disappointment, Bajaber continues to enjoy a standout season with Kenya Police FC.

The team currently leads the FKF Premier League table, ahead of heavyweights Tusker and Gor Mahia.

The midfielder’s stock has been rising steadily, especially after his performance during the March international break where he scored in Kenya’s 3-3 draw against Gambia in a 2026 World Cup Qualifier.
