Four armed robbers Monday attacked the Jos home of Nigeria
international Ogenyi Onazi, carting away valuables including a Toyota
Highlander and cash.
However, the damage they caused was limited
to material things as they took no life although they physically
assaulted the father of the Nigeria midfielder.
Speaking from his
base in Turkey, Onazi who was obviously shaken by the incident,
disclosed that the bandits 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(yesterday), 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,” he recounted.
“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.”
“They
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,” Onazi
added.
Already, the brothers of the Super Eagles star and other
family members have reported the incident to the police who have
promised to bring the hoodlums to book and also help with the recovery
of the stolen items.
Onazi’s dad has also been discharged from hospital where he was treated for the injuries inflicted on him during the ordeal.
