FC Yobo Driver Disappears With Team Bus
Published: November 28, 2016FC Yobo of Lagos team driver, Monday Abel Rapheal Nwankwo, has disappeared with the club’s 18-seater Toyota Hiace bus.
President of the non-league side, Edwin Yobo in a chat said: “For the past six months neither I nor the club have not set eyes on him let alone the bus.
“When the team goes on a break, Rafael uses the bus for commercial purpose and in return pays the club the sum of N150,000, just as a pay back for the kind gesture.
“Each time I try reaching him via his mobile phone it’s either switched off or number busy and when I’m lucky to get through to him, he ends up giving me flimsy excuses, that he doesn’t think he would join the team any moment
as he’s now working with another company and he doesn’t have any money as his new employers are owing him.”
Asked if he had made a formal report on the matter to the Nigeria Police, the elder brother to the ex-Everton of England and Super Eagles captain, Joseph Yobo said: “Not at all as I thought since it was a private matter that we could sit down and resolve it. But it’s like he’s taking advantage of my patience with him.”
On his relationship with Rafael, “It has been nice. He was actually introduced to me by a friend that I should assist him. After listening to his story of him being an ex-NEPA of Lagos player, I then decided to bring him to the club as the team driver.”
