Arsenal legend Nwankwo Kanu had $11,000 US dollars (£8228) in cash stolen from his suitcase in Moscow after he arrived from London.

Russian police said it was taken by two loaders at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport.

Kanu, 41, reported the money missing when he reached Kaliningrad, where he was playing in a World Cup curtain raiser game organised by FIFA.

Just In: Kanu Nwankwo retrieves stolen $11,000 in Russia

http://aoifootball.com/2018/06/04/just- ... in-russia/

Former Super Eagles’ Skipper, Kanu Nwankwo has retrieved the money stolen from his luggage on arrival at the Moscow airport over the weekend after the attacker flew in for an exhibition game as part of the event towards the FIFA World Cup which starts in less than 12 days.

Local police had confirmed earlier on Monday morning that indeed the former African footballer of the year was robbed of around $11,000, equivalent to four million naira which was removed from his luggage on arrival at the Moscow airport.

However, AOIFootball.com can authoritatively confirm that the money has now been returned to the Arsenal legend, who told this medium immediately after he got back his money, that the local police have returned the stolen money.

“Yes it’s true that the money was stolen from me, but I can confirm to you right now that I have my money with me and I’m grateful to the security agencies for helping to recover it back,” Papilo said.

This incident will come as a setback to host country Russia, who are trying to stage a near-perfect World Cup with travelers been warned earlier by authorities to be vigilant throughout the tournament.

[charlie]

I know 2 loaders that have booked a permanent vacation in Siberia.....

[felarey]

Does Russia allow visitors to come in with more than USD$10,000? Surprised he would put $11k in checked baggage. Kudos to the police.

[muzines]

I bet you the Russian government paid him this money to avoid bad PR.

[The real deal]

There's something about WE Africans and drama/Money/Showboating/ controversy !!! How many times do you hear stuff like this with other Similarly profiled folks ( Seedorf, Kluivert, Zidane, karembau, Raul, Maradona) in the news?? This coulda been nothing, midirected luggage, misplaced, bad label etc......If anyone stole that 11K, could he vevr really get everything back? Jeez...and after spending so much time out , kanu does not know better...Class! Ever wonder why WE Africans get treated without respect? We need to raise the class too

My sentiments as well...first thing that crossed my mind. Can someone shut him up by giving him the money before he ruins the party for us!

Oga Oloye, in the original Daily Mail story, it was clearly stated that the two baggage handlers that took the money from the bag had been apprehended and the money confiscated. The Police woman also mentioned that the money would be handed back to Kanu. So kudos to the security system in place at the airport. Chai! those smart alecs probably saw the money while scanning the bags and didn’t realise the money belonged to a celebrity invited by the government.

If na England now, they would look for rules/excuses to hold onto the cash for a while if it’s recovered. If na Naija, Kanu no go see the money again lai lai.

All that bit about the suspects being arrested can easily be arranged to show how efficient and prepared the Russia officials are towards ensuring the security and safety of the guest coming in for the World Cup. I am not saying that is necessarily true,but in the world of propaganda ..anything can happen o. But then like you said, those two mugus choose the wrong person to rob.

[ohenhen1]

I use credit and debit cards. No need to carry that amount of money.

You guys are correct, that is very possible.

On the other hand, they might have actually caught the thieves...the Russians are very good at monitoring criminals and sometimes, "allowing them to exist" until they cross a line.
