3SC respond to media “attack”

igeria Professional Football League side,
Shooting Stars of Ibadan, have reacted to a
publication in a local sports paper that listed
several allegations against officers of the club.
The side, in a long mail to the press, presented
its own side to what it called ‘one sided story’.
Here are excerpts from the mail:
“On the issue of Chairman and Board Members
Salaries, Shooting Stars Football Club has
nothing to do with their salaries, as it was the
Government of Oyo State that fixed and pay
the salary of all chairmen and members of all
Boards and Parastatals in the state including
Shooting Stars Board.
“There was no query given to the chairman by
the Honorable Commissioner for Youth and
Sports, there was never a time anything like
that happened.
“As the chairman, Mr. Toyin Akintunde
authorizes every payment as a signatory to
Shooting Stars Account.
“It is on record that the Honorable
Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Mr.
Adedapo Lam-Adesina has nothing to do with
Club’s Account, as he is not even a signatory
to the Account.
“It is the Chairman and the Club’s Accountant
that are signatories to the Club’s Account. This
could be confirmed from the Club’s banker.
“The Board headed by the chairman, Mr Toyin
Akintunde, recruited and negotiated with the
players, with no involvement of the Honorable
Commissioner for Youth and Sports
whatsoever.”
The Oluyole Warriors are currently embroiled
in a battle against relegation.
