2017 Aiteo Cup runners up,
Niger Tornadoes are yet to receive their N10million prize money almost a year
after, Sportsbiz247.blogspot.com has been informed.
The Ikon Allah Boys lost 3-2
on penalties to Akwa United after a goalless draw in the final played at the Agege
Stadium on Sunday, 15th October, 2017.
However the Hon. Adamu Aliyu Mohammed-led management was dissolved on
Dec. 14, 2017, making way for a new nine-man committee headed by Abubakar Gawu.
Top source in the team
revealed to Sportsbiz247.blogspot.com that while Akwa United have gotten their own share
of N25million, Tornadoes players are yet to receive theirs, including another
N10million promised by the Niger State Governor, Abubakar Sani Bello.
“We are yet to receive our
prize money of N10million for finishing second in the competition. Akwa United
who won the competition have collected their own. They have received theirs
before the Ramadan fasting period. Their chairman even showed us the alert on his
phone and we did not know the whereabout of our own.
“In a club, the chairman,
accountant and secretary are signatory to the account and each time when money
comes into the account, the three of the will see the alert. But in our own
case we’ve not seen anything. We don’t know who they gave or paid.
“We have discussed it with
our New chairman and he said he knows nothing
about it. When we approached the
former chairman, he also told us he did not receive any money.
“When we returned to the
state after the final, our governor promised us N10million too and we have not
seen that one till now. That makes it N20 million. So we are in the dark about
the whole situation,” the source told Sportsbiz247.blogspot.com.
