Iwobi's residence in London was broken into, resulting in the theft of £500,000.
Nigerian footballer Alex Iwobi was reportedly the victim of a violent aggravated burglary at his residence in London on March 23, 2026. The Fulham midfielder was allegedly threatened at knifepoint by a group of intruders who forcibly entered his home just hours before he was scheduled to join the Nigeria national team (Super Eagles) camp.
The estimated total value of the stolen items is around £500,000. Approximately £200,000 in cash was taken from a safe. The thieves also made off with designer wristwatches and luxury jewelry. Additionally, two iPhones and a MacBook laptop were reported stolen.
Status of Investigation: Authorities are actively investigating the incident, but no arrests have been made thus far.
The robbery took place while Iwobi was present at home, categorizing it as a "home invasion" crime where he encountered the armed intruders directly. This incident highlights a concerning trend of professional footballers being targeted by organized criminal gangs in London.
