Ivorian footballer and Galatasaray FC
striker Didier Drogba has reportedly
bought a 5 per cent stake in his country's
largest mining company.
The former Chelsea forward according to
African Review paid $74 Million to
acquire part of the state's shares in the
company
Drogba had expressed interest in
purchasing the stakes at the state owned
mine last March but encountered
difficulties sealing the deal. It took the
intervention of the country's president
Alassane Ouattara before the deal was
concluded last Friday.
