Newly signed Enyimba player, Stephen Chukwudi, has recalled the chilling experience when the Nigeria champions were attacked at gun point on their way to the pre-season Super Four in Kaduna, narrating how one of the robbers slammed the game, reports africanfootball.com.

Seven-time Nigeria champions, Enyimba, were attacked at gun point in Okene on Monday afternoon with players and officials robbed of valuables like phones and cash.

“One of our officials told them we are footballers, one of them shouted at him, saying ‘Thunder fire football!’, Chukwudi reported.

“I have never witnessed such a thing in my life, they were like five men, all fully armed with guns.

“I saw heaven and came back to earth. It was terrifying.

“Thank God no one was hurt, but they collected our phones and money.”.

Last year, Kano Pillars were attacked by robbers on their way to a league game in the eastern part of Nigeria.
