PAPILO IS GRATEFUL! Police return Kanu’s stolen $11,000
Russian police have returned the $11,000 (N4 million) which was stolen from Nigeria football legend, Kanu Nwankwo, at the Moscow Airport at the weekend.
According to the NationSport, a source close to the former Arsenal striker confirmed that the money has been returned.
“Yes, Papilo is grateful. The Russia police and security agencies were very helpful. They recovered it in hours and returned the money to him,” the source said.
WuzupNaija had reported that the 41-year-old took part in a FIFA Legend Game in Russia on Sunday.
The money was reportedly stolen from Kanu’s suitcase which he discovered at the hotel and quickly alerted the authorities.
Nigeria is due to land in Russia on June 11 from Austria, five days before their opening game against Croatia.
