I Have Not Been Paid Since May Last Year - Says Ike Shorunmu

 



Akinkunle Bolarinwa 


Following his immediate sack from the Super Eagles technical crew as goalkeeper Trainer, Ike Shorunmu seems unbothered by the apparent decision of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to lay him off. 


Speaking with Apexmedia2020.blogspot.com the former Super Eagles International stated that he did his job to the best of his abilities despite the fact that he was not remunerated.


"Since May last year they have not paid me and I have expended my own money and personal resources to make myself available for the team"


He stated further that he was told to stay off the team without even discussing any form of compensation. 


"I received a call not to resume to the team's camp because they said the head coach doesn't want to work with me but I suspect something".


Ike stated further that it was Finidi George who told him about the development a day after he got his marching orders from the nation's football body.


"Finidi called me to ask me if I have also been sacked. A few hours later I got a call telling me that they don't need me anymore".


Shorunmu is calling on the Nigeria Football Federation to settle his entitlements and free him from any form of financial distress. 


"I just hope they will settle me now because it is almost one year without getting anything working in my country" Ike stated.
