Ameobi Stops Racist Charges Against Two 17-Year-Olds!

08 February 2012 11:55
Two teenage friends who racially abused Sammy Ameobi on Twitter have been given final warnings by police ... because the Toon star stopped the charges.

The 17-year-olds were arrested in November for calling Ameobi a "nigger" on the social networking site.

It was understood one youth made the initial comment and his friend followed it up with a supportive tweet which also had a racial element.

The decision not to prosecute the pair was taken after consultation with Ameobi - the younger brother of fellow Newcastle striker Shola - and the football club.

Both youths have admitted their involvement and accepted final warnings at a Northumbria Police youth surgery on Monday.
