Gang of women offering sexual favours attack footballer in Dubai

A Nigerian footballer was attacked and robbed in Dubai by a gang of women, offering massages and sexual favours, Gulf News reported.

A local court was apprised that the 26-year-old man was walking to his parked car at Dubai's Naif area when a woman from Uganda stopped him and offered "a massage session and a sexual affair" which the victim rejected.

“I told her that I don’t want to have a massage. She was angry and pushed me. I was surprised when a group of seven to 10 women then attacked me. One snatched my gold chain and another bit me,” the victim said in official records.

The women also stole Dh3,715 in cash from his wallet, besides an expensive watch, according to the records.

“I was afraid and escaped the place first, but returned with a friend and reported the incident to the Naif Police Station, I then went to Dubai Hospital to get a medical report,” the Nigerian victim added.

The man claimed that the road was busy with people and that he was injured on the left arm due to the bite.

One of the gang members was sentenced to two years in jail, to be followed by deportation. The other women are still at large.

Dubai Public Prosecution charged the 33-year-old woman who was arrested with robbery and practising prostitution.

The court has ordered the defendant to pay a Dh6,215 fine as well.
