John Fashanu has been questioned by police after they found an unlicensed weapon in his house during a police raid.
According to UK Mirror, twenty officers stormed the soccer star’s 20-room mansion in Abuja, Nigeria, with a search warrant on Saturday and they seized the gun, believed to be capable of firing up to 30 rounds, as well as “five passports” before taking him to the city’s central station to be questioned.
He made a statement before being released from custody after nearly six hours to return there by Monday.
Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mirror, Fashanu, 52, said, “I was not arrested – I went to the police station voluntarily. I’ll go back tomorrow morning to the police station. I expect to pay a fine. It was an old fashioned firearm. I don’t actually know what model it is – it’s like a stub gun.”
Fashanu blamed his soon-to-be ex-wife for this discomfort saying it is her way of revenging following their ugly divorce proceedings.
