Former Super Eagles striker, Olanrewaju Ayobami Kayode, has sounded the alarm over the theft of his luxury vehicles from his Lagos residence. In a public notice, Kayode revealed that a grey Mercedes-Benz G63 SUV and a black Mercedes-AMG were stolen from his home at Pinnock Beach Estate, Lekki, on February 25, 2024, while he was away in Turkey. Despite several efforts, the cars remain untraceable, prompting the player to urge the public to report any useful information to the police or his solicitor.
This development comes as Kayode continues to battle a prolonged and very public marital feud with his estranged wife, Dora Ezinne. In a strongly worded statement, the footballer dismissed claims that Dora had any influence on his professional success, insisting that she lacked the knowledge and expertise to contribute to his football career. He alleged that such stories were tactics to keep her in the spotlight, warning the public to disregard them.
On her part, Dora has refuted his accusations, especially following a heated paternity test controversy involving their children. She has demanded that Kayode make the DNA results and hospital records public, accusing him of dragging their children into what she described as “a web of lies.” The dispute, which has played out across social and traditional media, has fueled widespread debate and divided public opinion.
While police investigations into the stolen vehicles are expected to continue, the situation highlights the dual challenges confronting Kayode: recovering his missing assets and navigating one of Nigerian football’s most publicized marital breakdowns. For now, both matters remain unresolved, keeping the spotlight firmly on the former national team forward.
