However, in this case, it is the opposite side, as the current situation going on over the last five months as Lobi Stars management, are yet to pay the players their four months' unpaid salaries owed to them since May. 

According to a former player of the club, who doesn't want his name to be mentioned, he expressed his frustration over the ongoing situation, which has been happening at the club since May.

"Yes, I think since May, we haven't received any salaries from the club management, " said the player. 

"It's either the Governor is not around or his deputy is not around."

"We played and qualified for the NPFL Championship playoff in Lagos, but to date, nothing has been done."
