Kozhikode: Hugely popular Nigerian Seven’s footballer OK Emmanuel was picked up by Nagpur police in Kozhikode on an outstanding arrest warrant against him.
Nagpur police officials arrested Emmanuel when he arrived to take part in a Seven’s football tournament. They told the media that there was an arrest warrant against Emmanuel. “The Nagpur police were looking for him since he failed to appear for trial after getting bail. There is a forged passport case registered against him in 2015. After hearing that he would be coming here, we came here and will now produce him before the Nagpur court,” said the Nagpur police officials.
Kozhikode and Malappuram districts hold a number of seven’s tournaments and foreign players, especially from Africa, are a huge hit. Emmanuel is a hugely popular player here.
The Nagpur police presented Emmanuel before a local court, which gave the police a transit warrant. Emmanuel, however, claimed that his passport is now in order. TNN & AGENCIES
