“Will not recruit more than thirty players and then five from the youth team of Lobi Stars (U-19), totaling thirty-five players.” Ikya told Voicesports.
Ikya added that contracts of players signed before the current board took over will be terminated.
“And again, the contract of players signed in the team before we came on board ranging from 1-2 years will be terminated and we will start on a new slate.
“We will not attend to players sent by anybody. I want to take my fate in my hands so that whatever the outcome, I would take the responsibility.”

EPL: Fabregas breaks silence on Chelsea job after Como gives green light
Como manager, Cesc Fabregas, has distanced himself from the vacant Chelsea job, insisting he is focusing on his future with the Italian side.
Chelsea is searching for the next permanent manager to succeed Liam Rosenior after sacking the Englishman.
The Blues had already appointed Calum McFarlane to temporarily take charge of the team until the end of the season.
However, Fabregas, a former Chelsea midfielder, has been linked with the managerial job at the Premier League west London club.
Como’s president, Mirwan Suwarso, had earlier on Friday told City AM that he would not stand in Fabregas’ way if he wants to take the reins at Stamford Bridge.
Speaking on the development ahead of Como’s Serie A clash with Genoa this weekend, Fabregas said, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano regarding the Chelsea job: “Nothing to say about that, it’d be stupid to think about that now — my focus is on the next game against Genoa. I didn’t even saw any quote from our president.
“I believe I will continue my chapter as Como head coach. Focus on the next games.”
