Nairobi City Stars players' valuables, cash stolen in Kasarani
Nairobi City Stars players and coaching staff had their
belongings pilfered in their dressing room on Sunday during their FKF Premier
League clash against Gor Mahia FC, the club has announced.
Team officials and players noticed some of their items had
been stolen from their bags after returning to the dressing room for half time,
club chief Patrick Korir said.
The value of their loss has yet to be assessed but Korir
said a total of Sh30,000 in cash money belonging to one of the players was also
stolen. Police were in the area to provide security during the incident.
Items in the away dressing room, which was being manned by
Gor stewards, remained intact.
Korir criticised the act which appeared to affect his
players as they conceded two quick goals in the second half to lose 3-2 despite
Gor playing with only 10 men for the final 20 minutes following goalkeeper Gad
Matthews’ sending off.
“When we went for half time we realized that our bags had
been tampered with, and when the players and technical bench checked their
belongings they were unable to find mobile phones and some money,” Korir said.
