Togolese goalkeeper Abdoul-Moubarak Aïgba has threatened to drag Sofapaka to Fifa’s Dispute Resolution Chamber over a pay-dispute.

As reported by MozartSport, Aigba is demanding USD 1300 in accrued salaries and bonuses accumulated within four months.

“Before I returned to Togo, I had not been paid for four months and life in Kenya was really tough. I tried my best to request the club to pay me but they didn’t. I also sought my release letter without success. My hope is now on FIFA whom I intend my present my case through my lawyers,” the goalkeeper claimed.

The Togolese import joined Sofapaka in February of 2021 and was able to nail a starting berth under the then Coach Ken Odhiambo.

He had been spotted by the Batoto Ba Mungu during the 2020 Africa Nations Championship in Cameroon and signed a two-year contract with the club.
