Some staff and coaches of Nigerian Professional Football League side, Lobi Stars, have stormed the Government House in Makurdi in Benue State to demand for their unpaid salaries.

The group had earlier staged a similar protest at the Benue State House of Assembly where they were received by the Chairman House Committee on Sports, Mr. Mr. Thomas Kwagh-Kudi on behalf of the Speaker, Titus Uba.
