Coach
of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr was at the receiving end of
the wrath of pick pockets at the end of the Aiteo Cup Final between
Enugu Rangers and Kano Pillars.
The Enugu side came from three
goals down to draw 3-3 before finally winning 4-3 on penalties much to
the dismay of fans of Kano based side Kano Pillars who were 17 minutes
away from becoming champions.
Rohr watched the game live at the
Stephen Keshi Stadium in Asaba, Delta State Nigeria and according to the
coach his pocket was picked on his way out of the stadium as various
people make their way out after the game.
Valuables like his
smartphone and immigration documents were among the items picked from
the Franco-German coach and he has pleaded with whoever is behind it to
return them as a handsome reward awaits whoever returns the items.
“I lost my wallet containing my Samsung 8 and my visa visiting card just after the Aiteo Cup final in Asaba on Wednesday.
“I
was trying to exit the stadium but the fans were many pushing and
running up and down. So I didn’t know the time my wallet was stolen. I
am appealing to whoever took it to please return it to me because I am
also a Nigerian by working with our darling Super Eagles.
“The
documents are very vital for my work with the Eagles and the Nigeria
Football Federation. We still have many qualifying and other friendly
matches to play and I won’t be able to do the work without the items. I
will personally reward whoever helps find the wallet with the items in
it,” Rohr revealed to Lagos based Newspaper, SportingLife.
