| SHOCKER! This Premier League Club Is Owing Players Eight Months’ Salary by YoungestMuller(m): 10:18pm On Oct 11, 2015 |
Players of El-Kanemi Warriors have
reportedly boycotted their Glo NPFL match
away to FC Ifeanyi Ubah on Sunday over
eight months’ unpaid salaries.
According to Supersport.com, the players are
refusing to play following the club’s refusal to
pay them their wages.
Zanna Mohammed, who confirmed the latest
development, said: “It is true that we did not
make the trip (for the game against FC
Ifeanyiubah). The players are insisting that they
will not make the trip unless they are paid
despite our pleas to them.”
And after refusing to speak up on the issue, one
of the players claimed that the club has not
paid them salaries for eight months, seven
match bonuses, 145% signing-on fees which
includes 45% from last season.
But the chairman made clarifications on the
claims by the players and the real reason they
are being owed by the club.
He said: “What has happened is that we have
paid them the old salary scale and not the
enhanced salaries this season. For instance a
player who is supposed to earn N200,000 has
been getting N60,000 and we have made their
outstanding money in calculation available to
the (Borno) state government which has
promised to offset every of the debt soon, in
fact before the deadline (given by the League
Management Company).”
Mohammed acknowledges the fact that they
have violated the Framework and Rules of the
Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) for
the current season which states that “the
minimum monthly wage for any player shall
not be less than N150,000 or as the (club) board
may decide from time to time” but he believes
that they can meet up with the October 27
deadline by the League Management Company
(LMC).
The team now risk being walked over and losing
three points and three goals as well as a hefty
N10 million fine for failing to honour their
match.
This is not the first time a premier league club is
owing players and experiencing boycott of
games as Warri Wolves also had the same issue
with their players about one months ago.
