THUGS ATTACK ZAMBIAN STRIKER'S HOME FOR FAILING TO SCORE NIGERIA


Power Dynamos striker Alex N’gonga’s family home in Chimwemwe in Kitwe (not Katwe) has been attacked by thugs following Zambia’s 1-0 loss to Nigeria in their  2018 World Cup qualifier match in Uyo on Saturday, zambianobserver.com reports.

Copperbelt province police commissioner Charity Katanga says a group of people emerged from a white Toyota Landcruiser ACC 5492 and maliciously damaged two roofing sheets with stones.

Katanga says the group accused N’gonga of missing scoring chances that crashed Zambia’s hopes of qualifying to the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

She said  police had  launched a manhunt and a case of malicious damage to property has been opened.

N’gonga’s mother Charity  told Muvi TV news that she feared for her life when she heard another person threaten to destroy the house completely.

Nigeria became the first African team to qualify for the global showpiece courtesy of Alex Iwobi’s second half strike at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo.

Nigeria’s Super Eagles have qualified for the upcoming 2018 Fifa World Cup in Russia with game to spare against North African side Algeria.

The Eagles achieved the feat with a 1-0 win against the tough fighting Chipolopolo of Zambia in Saturday’s Group B qualifier at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo.


Substitute Alex Iwobi scored the match winner in the 73rd minute to hand the country their fifth World Cup appearance.
