After a gruelling seven-month legal battle, erstwhile Nigeria Premier Football League club Kano Pillars has been ordered to pay its former goalkeeper, Bassey Akpan, the 13-month wages and bonuses they have neglected to fulfil.
The outstanding amount owed to Akpan, which includes both his wages and bonuses, totals a sum of N11.8 million.
The Players’ Status and Arbitration Committee gave the order on Friday after carefully examining the alleged breach of contract committed by Bassey Akpan with the club, concluding that the termination of the former Akwa United goalkeeper was unlawful.
