Super Eagles’ legend, Nwankwo Kanu has been robbed. About N4 million ($11,000) was stolen from his suitcase at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport on his way to playing in a friendly match organised by FIFA.

The former Arsenal and Inter Milan player was robbed as he transferred to a flight to Kaliningrad at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport after arriving from London.

Russian police said that they detained two baggage handlers who were unloading luggage from the London flight and stole the money from checked-in luggage.
