The activities at the Taraba State government house in the state capital, Jalingo, were shutdown on Monday by the players of the state's male and female football teams, Taraba FC and Taraba Queens.
According to Premium Times, the players who were protesting the non-payment of backlogs of their salary arrears, are demanding immediate payment of 21 months’ salary arrears from the Taraba State Government.
It was gathered that security operatives were deployed to the government house to deny the players access into the building as the gate of the government house has since been shut.
Despite being tear gassed, the players vowed to spend nights there until they are paid.
Monday’s protest occurs barely a month after a similar one by the players.
