‎As per multiple reports in Tanzania, Bajaber has been signed for $100,000 (Ksh12.9 million) which represents an Ksh11.9 million profit for Police in just six months.

‎Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy confirmed Bajaber's transfer, saying the player left with his blessings as he was also a doubt for the CHAN 2024 tournament due to an injury picked up in early June.

‎"Everyone knows he is one of the best players in the national team. He is a player I believe in a lot and I gave him opportunities in the national team so he has always been loyal to me, national team and his team-mates. He got an injury before the last international break, a thigh muscle which he was nursing," McCarthy said of Bajaber.

‎"We thought we could be able to use him midday through (CHAN 2024) but he still has a little bit of problems and you do not want to risk.

‎"He is one of our best players and one that was going to start but he would have missed all our group matches. So, to keep a player here that you gamble that you are going to reach the quarter-final and semi-final to play him, we made that decision that it would be better to let him leave. We also found out that he had an opportunity to join a giant club in Africa, Simba.

‎"So instead of keeping a player here and he is not going to play a part anyway, we’d rather let him go and get the necessary treatment that he needs with his new club and settle in."
