Super Eagles midfielder, Ogenyi Onazi performed heroics off the field on Tuesday in Rome, as he chased down a thief and handed him over to the police.

Read his revelation.

"I was having dinner with my brother near to the Termini Station and there were some tourists sitting next to us, Onazi told Lazio Style Radio after the story hit the headlines.

I saw a boy and due to his suspicious behaviour, felt that he wanted to steal something. I didn’t even have time to tell my brother that he had already snatched the tourist’s wallet and run off.

I noticed it, so I ran after him, but stayed on the other side of the street. I ran for 300 metres, the mugger left the wallet under a car, but I saw him.

- I chased him down and brought him back to the restaurant, avoiding the ire of the people around there. 

I told the restaurant owner to call the police and we brought the wallet back to the lady. She was in tears and thanked me, as the wallet was full of money.

At that point, seeing as the situation had been resolved, my brother and I left.

Onazi grew up in Lagos where played football before moving to Italy "

 Nicely done Onazi! You deserve an achievement award!
