Former Nigerian captain, Kanu
Nwankwo has recovered the £8,250 stolen from him from the Russian Police.
The 41-year-old football legend
was recently robbed by two loaders at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport after he
landed in Russia from London ahead of the 2018 World Cup tournament.
The former Arsenal striker had
arrived in Kaliningrad for a World Cup curtain raiser game organised by FIFA
when he discovered his money was missing and reported to the Russian
authorities.
Lt-Col Irina Volk, spokeswoman
for the Russian Interior Ministry, who confirmed the incident, said the money
was stolen by two loaders and promised it will be returned to the football
legend.
A close pal of the ex-football
star told the Nation on Monday, that the money has been returned to the former Nigeria
International.
Kanu’s pal said, “Yes Papilo is
grateful. The Russia police and security agencies were very helpful. They
recovered it in hours and returned the money to him.”
