As a bonus, Aluvah as Zhakata is popularly known, has been offered VIP tickets for the Afcon final to be played between Senegal and Algeria on Friday.
This will comes as a relief for Aluvah, who was now stranded in Egypt and had resorted to begging for funds to return home from well-wishers through a GoFundMe Campaign.
