The players of Rising Stars, a football club owned by the Ondo State Govt that currently plays in the Nigerian National League stopped the workers of ODSFA from entering the compound of the agency by locking the gate of the agency to protest its unpaid allowances. Today will make it the second day this form of protest by the rising stars started. Information from a reliable source confirmed that though part of this players allowances has been released by the state government since February but The Management of the Agency are withholding this money using some unconvincing claims to backup their stance. The players who were up to 20 at the gate today were seen chanting protest songs at the gate and publicly rebuking the secretary of the agency Mr Fabunmi who they claim was the one who mastermind in the plot to divert the released funds. Although this is not the first time this players are protesting over this unpaid allowance as they have done every possible thing to get the management of the agency to pay them their allowances but this will be the first time they will be locking the gate of the Agency.
According to my source who is One of the protestant, he said if the chairman and the secretary of the Agency fail to address the issue before next week, he said they may decide to employ more critical form of protest to force it out.
