Super Falcons forward Esther Okoronkwo has alleged that $700 was stolen from her wallet while Nigeria's squad were preparing for the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations in Casablanca, Morocco.
The AFC Toronto forward made the allegation in a series of posts on her Snapchat account, claiming that several of her teammates also had money stolen from their wallets while the squad was staying at the Marriott Hotel in Casablanca.
Okoronkwo initially said $500 had been taken from her wallet before later revising the figure after recounting her money.
"This hotel Marriott in Casablanca just stole about a lot of people's money from their wallet! They just stole 500 USD from me!! They stole couple of dollars from my teammate," she initially wrote.
She later updated the amount, posting:
"Guys, I did my calculations wrong. They actually stole $700, not $500 USD."
The Super Falcons forward went on to allege that members of the hotel's housekeeping staff were responsible for the missing money.
"The cleaning people stole the money. So they waited while we weren't in the room to clean and steal the money," she wrote.
As of the time of filing this report, neither the Marriott Hotel in Casablanca nor the Confederation of African Football had publicly responded to the allegations.
