Obafemi Jets Out, Yobo Off Wednesday


Super Eagles weapon of mass destruction, Obafemi Martins left London Monday night for Eagles Nelspruit camping site aboard South African Airways from the Heathrow Airport.

This piece of news was revealed to Complete Sports late Monday night by John Olatunji Shittu, the FIFA licensed agent of Chelsea of England star, Mikel Obi.

Shittu was at Heathrow to see off a friend and arrange for the tickets of some of his players in the Eagles squad for Sunday’s 2010 World Cup game in Maputo.

“I saw Obafemi at the airport this (Monday) evening checking in for the flight to South Africa. He should be in Johannesburg on Tuesday morning,” said Shittu.

Shittu also revealed that Eagles vice-captain, Joseph Yobo will also be jetting out to South Africa on Wednesday.

“You know Yobo is also injured but insisted on going to show solidarity with his colleagues,” Shittu said.
