The rights of Taraba FC players was yesterday trampled upon, as soldier numbering over eleven brutalized the players for besieging the government in protest over non payment of their eleven months salaries.

The players claimed they were yet to be paid their remunerations and match bonus by the state government. They stormed the Government House at about 7a.m on a peaceful protest, preventing both staffs and political appointees from gaining access into the premises. But they met a brick wall, as the soldiers drafted into the arena by the state government gave the footballers serious beating.

Government activities in the government house as at the time of this report was on a standstill, as top government functionaries are running up and down seeking for way of persuading the players.

Among top government functionaries who could not gain access to the government house yesterday includes the Special Adviser to the Governor on Security, Col. Wunike Agyo, Special Adviser on Rural Development, Mammud Abubakar, the Chief Protocol Officer, Kabiru Marafa, Chief Press Secretary, Hassan Mijiyawa and the Chief Press Secretary to the Deputy Governor, Lawal Sani Kona.

Speaking with newsmen, the team captain, Kelvin Njoku, expressed dismay at the “deliberate” refusal of the state government to “pay us our salaries for the past eleven months.”

Apart from the salaries, which he said the state government has “refused to pay in spite of the bailout given to them by the federal government,” the government, Njoku said “has also refused to pay us our match bonuses.”

It was learnt that the military, who have been keeping vigil in the state capital, were ushered into the government house armed with horsewhip, and the riffles and manhandled the players who vowed to remain in the government house pending when their demands are meant.

Earlier, the Chief of staff to the government, Rebo Usman said the government was aware of their plights, adding that machineries have been put in place to pay them.

Sh*t only happens in Nigeria.we are still in the Era of Idi Amin

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

This saying is so true for the present stage of dictatorship we find ourselves now.

1) They rubbished Madueke without facts, we were silent.

2). They did the same to Okonjo-Iwela, we shrugged, na dem dem.

3). They shot at unarmed protesters we said it serves them right(why did they burn mosque)

4). They sent a bill to gag freedom of speech and we kept quiet.

5). They held Nnamdi Kanu against court orders, we kept quiet at least he's not my relative.

When they come for you, just remember your silence.

Only In Nigeria

End time brutality.

Sometimes when you see some of the activities perpetuated by our soldiers you Neva feel sorry for them as they are killed by BH. Useless Soldiers.

Typical of Nigerian soldiers. They are superhuman when it comes to handling civilians, but, weaklings when dealing with armed insurgents, they even run away on occasions.

Why must it, always be this way?

Shebi na same football wey una and Messi dey play ni.
Taraba govt is wicked. The new gov needs accident

Those soldiers are a bunch of animals
