Striker Abubakar Lawal has sent an emotional farewell to AS Kigali after agreeing to join Uganda Premier League Champions Vipers to bring his two-year spell at the club to an end.

The Nigeria international played his last game with AS Kigali early this week as he helped the club beat APR FC 1-0 in the final of the Peace Cup to secure a ticket to the 2022/23 CAF Confederation Cup.

The 26-year-old celebrated the Peace Cup triumph wearing a champions' shirt with a farewell message on his back that reads, "It's not good to say a goodbye message but to say we should meet in the future. Insha Allah"

The former Pillars, Nasarawa United and Wikki Tourists fleet-footed striker scored eight goals and provided 10 assists in all competitions for AS Kigali and his performance has impressed a number of clubs before he joined Robertinho's side as the coach continues to bring in fresh blood ahead of next season.
