What you need to know:

  • The disappearance was reportedly linked to a court case about a financial dispute involving a hotel owned by Kanu in the upmarket Victoria Island area of Lagos.
  • Nigerian media reported that the trophies and medals disappeared after the 42-year-old discovered illegal renovation work had been carried out at the property.

ABUJA

Nwankwo Kanu said on Tuesday that he had suffered the "saddest day" of his life after finding out every medal won by the former Arsenal and Nigeria star had vanished from a Lagos property of his.
