Former Super Eagles striker and skipper, Nwankwo Kanu is broken and is now lamenting.

He is accusing the Assets Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) of orchestrating an illegal takeover of his hotel, Hardley Apartment over unpaid loan.

“The case between AMCON and I has been on since 2015 at the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos. I don’t understand why AMCON will start renovating my property when the court has not decided the case. Most of my memorabilia from my playing days, including my medals and Olympic torch have been looted.”

“It is quite unfortunate that a legendary star, who gave his best to the country, would be treated like this. This hotel serves many purposes. I have been using the money I get here to fund my heart foundation and also create jobs for people. Over 500 children are on the line for surgery and 200 are on the waiting list.”

“Since the hotel has not been functioning, I find it difficult to get funds to assist these children. I have to go the extra mile to beg for funds. This is not fair.”

“The government always tells former footballers not to invest overseas after retirement. They tell us to come back home and invest. I came back to invest and see what I am facing.”

“Is this a good experience for other upcoming footballers? Everybody knows I made my money from football. I deserve to be treated well in my country.”

“I am Kanu Nwankwo not a foreigner. Right now, I need my medals because they are what I will show my children that I served the country with all my heart when they grow up. I am calling on the appropriate authorities to intervene in the matter.”
