3SC skipper claims N5m pay-off

Sacked 3SC skipper, Sakiru Lawal has said the Ibadan club owe him at least five million Naira being unpaid signing-on fees over five seasons.

“I don’t have any problem with Shooting Stars. All I want them to do is to pay us off since they no longer need us,” Lawal told MTNFootball.com

“They are owing us balance payments of our signing-on fees from the 2006/07 season till last season. In total, they are to pay me over five million Naira.

“We worked for this money and we should be paid.”

Lawal gave a further breakdown of how 3SC owe him five million Naira.

He said they owe him 60% of the contract fees for the 2006/07 season, 40% from 2007/08, 20% from 2008/09, 80% 2009/10 and 80% 2010/11.

Long-serving Lawal was released by Shooting Stars along with the likes Kabiru Alausa and Tope Orelope ahead of the new season, which kicks off January 7.

The sacked players have already made a representation to the Oyo State sports commissioner Dapo Lam Adesina in respect of these entitlements.
