Sources close to Igboun revealed that the Nigerian left the club facilities due to poor accommodation. He was very disappointed to see the state of place that the club provided him. Igboun had joined the club on a one-year deal but was quite late to arrive as he was stuck in Russia due to visa issues. In fact, he wasn’t even available for selection for the club’s first two ISL games and departed after making just one competitive appearance.

His sudden departure certainly put the club officials to shame and left the fans utterly disappointed. Initially, there were allegations that even other players aren’t happy with the accommodation provided by the club. The Guwahati-based club previously accommodated their players and staff at Radisson Blu, a five-star hotel in the city.
