    WHAT HAPPENED

    Former Kaizer Chiefs attacker Brian Abbas Amidu was arrested this week for alleged drug trafficking.

    According to the Zimbabwe Police, he was arrested alongside his accomplice, Reuben Kudzai Mhlanga, along the Kwekwe-Kadoma Highway. 

    The Authorities have now revealed that the drugs are valued at around R1,3 million.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    When he signed for Amakhosi in 2012, the Soweto giants announced he was 21, meaning he should be around 35 years old now; it beats logic that the police said he is 29. 

    Amidu, who lasted just three months at Naturena after joining Amakhosi from Black Mambas, played for the Black Leopards FC as well for three years.  

    He also had a stint in the Middle East before hanging up his boots five years ago.

    The former Black Leopards star further represented Zimbabwe seven times before stiff competition saw him out.

    WHAT NEXT?

    The duo was presented in court, where they were denied bail by the magistrate. 

    The trial is set to begin once the prosecutor has gathered enough evidence against the suspects.
