Monday Odigie, assistant coach to Nigeria's Under-23 team coach
Samson Siasia has revealed that his house along Benin/Sapele road was
burgled while he was with the Olympic team working in Rio, and says only
God can judge the perpetrators as valuables such as his Olympic and
World Cup medals were stolen.
Odigie said the incident took
place before the team’s opening game against Japan, but insists that
would not weigh him down as he eyes success in Brazil.
“Armed
Robbers went to burgle my house in Owanoba community kilometer 15
Benin/Sapele road and made away with plenty of my belongings, all my
World Cups and Olympic medals, certificates and other valuables,”
Odigie, the former coach of Kaduna United told Goal.com
"My house was bugled the day we played our first game against Japan on August 4th, 2016 to be precise.
“I have been trying to get over this while also trying to concentrate on the job here at the Olympics.
“It
is very sad and discouraging to realise that while one is working out
his heart out for his country in Brazil, one’s house is being robbed
back home.
“I leave everything to God to judge
everyone according to his deeds. This won’t deter me because I am
focused and I am happy that members of the team are also focused to
achieve something here.
“I didn’t want any
distraction for the team that’s the reason why I kept the incident
within me and members of the technical crew led before letting you know
now.”
