Mikel Obi deletes twitter account after racist abuse; Chelsea calls police

[Folami David]

Mikel Obi today deleted his Twitter account after he was racially abused for 'costing' Chelsea victory in the opening match of their Champions League defence against Juventus yesterday Wednesday Sept 19th.
..........
The match ended 2-2 and Chelsea fans blamed Mikel for giving the ball away just ten minutes before time and also not preventing the equalizing goal. After the end of the game, Chelsea fans racially abused Mikel on his Twitter account @Mikel120fficial, prompting the Super Eagles midfielder to delete the account which he set up just a few months back.
..........
Chelsea said they have informed the police after being made aware of the racist Tweets. A statement read :
..........
'' We've been made aware of racist tweets targeted at Mikel which are totally unacceptable, disgusting and abhorrent. We've informed the police and support taking the strongest possible action ''.

Its pathetic though i dislike decission of mikel to play 4 chelsea at the first time, all chelsea fans both home and abroad are known to b unculture and mannerless, its not a surprise seeing such attitude 4rm them, they ar full of abuse, insult, noisemaker. If he cant cope let him resign 4rm chelsea afterall they have already killed his carrier
