COMMONWEALTH GAMES! Nigerian coach and two athletes disappear
A Nigerian coach and two athletes have allegedly disappeared from the Commonwealth Games venue, a situation the President of Nigeria Weightlifting Federation, Mohammed Yahaya described as a “big embarrassment”.
The coach (names withheld) was said to have followed the way of some Africans, especially athletes from Cameroon, who chose to escape in Australia even before the end of the Games, the Guardian reports.
It was further gathered that two other Nigerians, a coach in the special sports and a 200m runner also disappeared in Australia.
A furious Yahaya said,
.
“This is very embarrassing to us because as a head coach, I expected him to act like father to the athletes. But our head coach disappeared into the thin air even before the Games were concluded.”
