Nigerian football star Victor Osimhen has been accused of assaulting a journalist in Istanbul, Turkey. The alleged incident occurred when Osimhen, on loan from Napoli, reacted aggressively to reporters trying to photograph him outside an entertainment venue.
According to Turkish outlet, Osimhen is accused of attacking journalist Tolga Bozduman, punching him in the head and making verbal threats. Bozduman recounted the encounter, stating that Osimhen lost his temper when camera flashes went off, charged at him, and attempted to grab his camera.
The journalist also alleged that Osimhen offered money to delete the footage and threatened to “destroy” him when refused. This incident has sparked criticism, tarnishing Osimhen’s reputation as a football star. Neither Galatasaray nor Napoli has released a statement addressing the situation.
Osimhen has since made a cryptic post on social media, sharing a video of a Ghanaian comedian laughing sarcastically, without any caption. This has ignited further discussion and speculation about the incident.
