How I Escaped Being Killed By Boko Haram, Got Paid N40,000 Only — Gold Medalist by CGMedia: 7:42pm On Aug 15, 2019 |
Gold Medalist, Onwuka Forced to Travel by Road to Represent Nigeria, Shot by B’Haram (Photos) Nigerian gold medalist, Kalu Eke Onwuka, from Abia State, has lamented what he described as unfair treatment from the President Muhammadu Buhari led federal government, Igbere TV reports. Igbere TV reports that Onwuka, a recipient of several gold medals, said he was forced to travel by land (instead of air) to represent Nigeria in an all-important game in neighboring Niger. He also alleged that officials of the Federal Ministry of Youths and Sports Development deleted his name from the list of contingents to represent Nigeria in the Morocco All African Games 2019. Onwuka, who had represented the country in several competition, won a gold medal in Niger during the recently held ECOWAS senior championship in Discos. This is even as the Nigerian champion, popularly called 'Scorpion', missed out in the shot put as a result of his late arrival after being forced to take the road. Speaking with Igbere TV in Umuahia, on Wednesday, the gold medalist expressed regret that after risking his life from Kaduna to Niger to represent the country, where he won a medal, he was delisted for the games in Morocco. He said he left Niger at about 5am by road, adding that he and other athletes were shot by gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram terrorists, on their way back before they finally arrived Nigeria at about 11pm. Onwuka who has been throwing shot put since 2012 said he has won several medals for the country in many local and international sporting events, expressing dissatisfaction with the unfair treatment meted to him by his fatherland. His words, “On the 7th of July, 2019, I attended the National Camp Kaduna, where Nigeria played for the All African Games qualifiers.he added. http://igberetvnews.com/901929/gold-medalist-onwuka-forced-to-travel-by-road-to-represent-nigeria-shot-by-bharam-photos/ Lalasticlala, Mynd44, OAM4J[/quote]
