The stories concerning Super Eagles<\/a> and Fulham midfielder Alex Iwobi suffering an attack from burglars in his home have been confirmed to be false, Soccernet.ng reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 29-year-old was said to have been at knifepoint following Fulham’s 3-1 win over Burnley at Craven Cottage on Saturday.<\/p>\n

It was also reported that the supposed burglars carted away about 200,000 pounds in cash and items worth more than double that, but the reports have been confirmed to be a hoax.<\/p>\n

The former Arsenal midfielder was recently named on the Football Black List<\/a> alongside Jess Carter and Eberechi Eze, for recognition of their off-field impact in the sport.<\/span><\/p>\n

After receiving several calls regarding the safety of his son, Iwobi’s father, Chuba, revealed there was nothing like a robbery or burglary at his son’s place.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlex is fine, and there was absolutely no attempt to burgle his house,\u201d Chuba Iwobi told journalist Colin Udoh<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I have just spoken to Chuka Iwobi, and he says there is absolutely no truth to reports that his son @alexiwobi<\/a> was burgled.<\/p>\n

His words: \u201cAlex is fine and there was absolutely no attempt to burgle his house. He left for Turkey this morning in preparation for the friendlies. It\u2019s\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cHe left for Turkey this morning, preparing for the friendlies. It\u2019s so annoying that a person can actually spread such falsehoods just for a few clicks. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCalls and enquiries from well-wishers have inundated me, and I have spent unnecessary time explaining that this is a made-up story.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
