Warri Wolves players cry out over unpaid salaries

Some players of the Nigeria Professional Football League side, Warri Wolves, have cried out over their unpaid salaries.
Some of the players who spoke to League Rendezvous on the condition of anonymity said the club currently owed them three months’ salaries. “We have been finding it difficult to cope with the situation,” one of the players said.
“Some of us have been borrowing money to survive, they have forgotten that we also
have families to cater for.
“If not for the type of family that I have, I don’t know what I would have done, given the condition we find ourselves now.” Speaking in the same vein, another player of the club said they are currently being owed 15 percent of last season’s sign-on fee and some match bonuses.
He said: “They have not even talked to us about why they are yet to pay us our money. Although we have the inkling that it was because of elections that they have been making life difficult for.”

An official of the club who confided in our correspondent said the players’ suspicion about the elections being the reason they have not been paid was true. He however said everything would be resolved immediately the elections were over.
