Armed robbers who allegedly disguised themselves as courier men pretended to deliver a letter to Super Eagles’ midfielder’s, Ogienyi Onazi, dad around 1.40pm on Saturday in Jos. After gaining entrance, they went into a robbing spree carting away money, a Toyota Highlander and other valuables and severely beating up his dad in the process. The footballer who, luckily, wasn’t around during the ugly incident explained:
“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, and 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.”
