English Premier League giants Arsenal are suing Nigerian football agent Samuel Okoronkwo, founder of Capstone Sports Management for £375,000 (about N97,205,170.91) after an alleged bust-up over sandwiches.
Capstone also complained after club staff prevented its guests from slicing their own bread, according to the write filed with the court.
Arsenal said, 'The level of service and hospitality… was being deliberately compromised' by catering sub-contractors at the stadium.
The club says it received a letter from Capstone's lawyers that stated it had stopped payments because the club had 'promised… but failed to take any proper action' about the packed lunch incident that took place during a match in December 2011. Interestingly, Capstone – which has offices in central London and Abuja in Nigeria – was allegedly obliged to pay a total of £465,000 (about N120, 532,629.35) in instalments for box number 48 up until 2016.
But the club claims Capstone stopped making payments in April 2012.
The company denies Arsenal's claims.
Arsenal's lawyers deny the service provided 'was deliberately compromised' or that it 'failed to take any proper action in relation to Capstone's complaint'.
The club also argues that, even if the alleged incidents happened as described, it was not a breach of contract.
