Relief may finally come the way of Nigerian international Ogenyi Onazi following world football governing body FIFA’s directive to Italian Serie A club Lazio to pay him his outstanding dues by November 29, 2016 or face their wrath.

The ultimatum according to a source close to Onazi told africanfootball.com that FIFA has ordered Lazio to pay before end of this month.

“FIFA has given Lazio till November 29 to pay Onazi or face their wrath. He is being owed two months’ salary,” the source informed.

In the summer, midfielder Onazi joined Turkish club Trabzonspor, but Lazio failed to pay him for the final two months of his contract. He demanded for this payment and after they still failed to pay, he took the case to FIFA.
