About four armed robbers invaded the Jos home of Super Eagles midfielder Ogenyi Onazi, and carted away valuables including a white Toyota Highlander and an undisclosed amount of cash. The Turkey-based footballer disclosed to Journalists that the robbers pretended to be courier men with a letter to be delivered to his father.

“Those robbers came, pretending they were there to deliver a letter to my dad at about 1.40pm on Monday. But as soon as he collected their fake letter and asked where it was coming from they swooped on him, tied his hands, beat him up, inflicting machete cuts on him in the process.

“They told him this is the first in a series of attacks that they will launch on our house and that I( Onazi) will be their target the next time. Those guys took their time to take some valuable materials including car and some cash but I am thankful to God they didn’t do more than that.”

The incident has since been reported to the police. And his father discharged from the hospital where he was treated for injuries inflicted on him.
