What is Iwobi doing with $200k cash at home? Put money for bank na.
Glad that he was unharmed.
Next time, try to put money in assets that are not so easy to steal.
With this successful operation, the hoodlums will surely try again. Security needs to be tightened.
Never the penitent, always the priest. Preach Pompei, preach.
When you show your house and shoe collection on Youtube, you’re asking to be robbed! The British criminal underground likes robbing football players, because they see them as conspicuous, naive, money-miss-road consumers.
Footballers are singularly the most burglarised group of victims in the UK. Both criminals and police resent the fact that young men from deprived areas and groups are earning so much money. In fact, the police may actually be the ones tipping off the criminals
Iwobi and his father have debunked the news. There was no such burglary.
The 200k cash was already a pointer that it may be fake news.
