Ghana Premier League giants, Hearts of Oak have paid GHC 50,000 to Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) over non-payment of SSNIT contributions for players and staff.
The Phobians were sued by SSNIT after they were served a writ of summons after a former staff lodged a complaint at SSNIT over the failure of their management to pay his contribution, according to Asempa FM reports.
Hearts of Oak have dominated the local media for the wrong reason after exiting the CAF Confederation Cup after suffering a 4-0 defeat at the hands of Algerian side JS Saoura.
Prior to that, the Phobians were humiliated by Wydad Club Athletic after losing 6-2 on aggregates to the Moroccans in the CAF Champions League.
The defeat means the Phobians have conceded as many as 10 goals in two away games in their African campaign.
In the Ghana Premier League, the current champions are bottom of the league table with just three points with two games in hand and are yet to win a game.
