Published on: 23 June 2020

Former Aduana Stars defender, Stephen Anokye Badu is stranded in Kuwait following the closure of Ghana’s borders by the government due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Border closure is one of the measures the government has taken in the fight against the widespread of the global pandemic.

Badu situation in the Asian nation keeps worsening since his ten-month contract with Tadamon SC expired last month.

The club have ended all contractual obligations to the player including rent and other utilities.

"They paid my apartment rent charges up to last month when my contract ended and have made it clear to me that they won’t continue with the payment," he told Ghana News Agency.

The former BA United defender claims he does not do any extra work to be able to take care of his rent obligations.

"I should take that burden up for myself. But the situation is very difficult for me here. We are locked down, and I don’t do any work to earn extra money to pay rent charges."

"I just want to return home,"

Also, the 24-year-old surviving in Kuwait is becoming more difficult as restrictions are yet to be lifted.

"I can’t survive with the little money on me now that my contract has ended. And we don’t know when exactly restrictions will be lifted too."

The former Ghana U20 star appealed to the government to come to their aid as there are other Ghanaians going through hardships in Kuwait.
