Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi suffered a robbery at his London home on Monday night, according to several reports.
The thieves were said to have burgled his home and held him at knifepoint before carting away several personal belongings of the Fulham FC player.
The robbers stole a MacBook, two iPhones, jewelry, luxury watches, and an estimated £200,000 in cash. The total value of the stolen items is approximately £500,000, London news outlets reported.
The robbers fled the house but without harming the 29-year-old midfielder. The police have yet to identify or apprehend the suspects.
But in spite of the robbery, Iwobi is amongst the players that have arrived in the camp of the Super Eagles ahead of their friendly four-nation tournament. Coach Eric Chelle named him in his 23-man squad to face Jordan and Iran this week.
As of Tuesday night, 13 players had arrived in Antalya, Turkey. More arrivals were expected late Tuesday night and early Wednesday.
Samuel Chukwueze and Maduka Okoye were confirmed to be enroute camp on Tuesday night.
The Eagles are camped at the Bellis Deluxe Hotel, Antalya, while the first training session is billed for Wednesday evening at 4pm local time (2pm in Nigeria).
