Thieves invade Kanu Nwankwo’s Hotel in Lagos, steal his trophies

Reports have it that Kanu Nwankwo’s Hotel was invaded by thieves, The Hardley Apartments located at Waziri Ibrahim Crescent on Victoria Island, Lagos and they allegedly made away with all his football medals, trophies, plaques and other valuable items.
Kanu who learnt that his hotel which has been sealed up since 2015 sequel due to an alleged default in transaction between it and Skye Bank (now Polaris Bank) was being occupied by some authorized persons who had also commenced renovation of the facility in disregard of the seal order and litigation, was forced to arrive in Nigeria over the weekend to verify the claims.
“It was a rude shock to me... I almost couldn’t recognise the hotel as belonging to me anymore. This is the saddest day of my life as I cannot understand why this happen to me when the matter has yet to be settled in court. Kanu, who fought back tears told TheCable. ”All the medals I have earned, in addition to the Olympic torch that I cherished are all gone and I don’t even know who to ask for all these prized assets.”
A man who was seen supervising the illegal renovation, told The Cable’s correspondent that he is a staff of (AMCON), leading to suspicion that the assets managers may have also disregarded the court proceedings by taking over the property. “This is unacceptable in all ramifications. I have not been served any notice that I have lost this property and until I am served the notice, it remains my legal property,” the former Super Eagles’ captain said.
The hotel has been through series of litigation which is still pending at the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos, and it was gathered that the last hearing came up in November last year after which the case was adjourned till 31 January 2019.
