“Some fans ambushed us and took away two phones from our goalkeeper Fauzu Tatiga and player Rashid Mudathir,” Itraru narrates the ordeal.
“Other players and our assistant coach Andrew Chandiga immediately jumped out of the bus to follow them; They managed to get one and recovered Tatiga’s phone, but then hell broke loose when the fans started attacking them.
