Olympic
team coach Samson Siasia and his assistant were robbed of valuable
possessions in the Olympic team's hotel car park in Atlanta, Georgia but
he kept it secret in order not to distract his team and make them lose
concentration ahead of the Rio Olympics according to a report by top
Nigerian sports magazine, Sporting Life.
According to
the report by the magazine published today, a close friend of the
Bayelsa born coach revealed how Siasia's credit cards and money were
stolen, his car damaged and his phones and phones of his assistant
stolen by Burglars on Tuesday last week at the team's training camp
hotel car park and how Siasia still kept it to himself because he wants
total focus from his players.
"Coach Samson
Siasia was robbed last week when he parked the car he is using for
running around for the team at the team's hotel park'' the source said .
"He
went to see the players after the evening session and also freshen up
in his hotel room , but alas as he came back to pick his car he
discovered that somebody had broken the door and the glass of the car
and made away with his credit card, his two android phones, the phones
of his assistant, Abu and some money too''
"Siasia
was demoralized but after a few minutes he braced up and told us that
the devil is a liar and that nothing can stop him from preparing this
team for the Olympics task ahead."
When Siasia was contacted by SportingLife , the former Super Eagles coach asked " who told you, how did you know ?"
"Well it's true but I have done what I supposed to do so there is no cause for alarm.
"We are focused and preparing hard for the Olympics that is what I can
tell you for now. But it is true that the car I am using here was
burgled and they made away with my credit cards and other valuables .
But no cause for alarm as I told you"
