“I was to earn N525,000 monthly in the contract I signed but I was only paid N130,000 for ten months . We, the players, had an understanding with the club to be paid part of our salary and that the balance will be paid as accumulated salaries.

“My monthly salary of N395,000 times ten and two months’ salary will give you N5 million, then add my unpaid league and continental match bonuses,” another player said.
