Fashanu locked in prison for two days

Former England football star, John Fashanu, was locked up in an Abuja prison over involvement in a land related scam.

The former Wimbledon player and television personality, was arrested and held for two days because he was involved in a scam to sell land that wasn’t for sale, The Sun UK reported. Fashanu was released on July 19 on bail.

According to the Mirror, police turned up at his home in the capital Abuja and was arrested on suspicion of “criminal conspiracy.”

It is believed that the 54-year-old pocketed £23,000 in the dodgy scam after acting for a friend who was looking to buy land.
