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"
