Nigerian Govt Berates Napoli For Mocking Osimhen Over Penalty Miss After Championship Win

The Nigerian Government through the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, has criticised Napoli Football Club and fans for mocking Super Eagles star and forward, Victor Osimhen, for missing a penalty kick in a football match against Bologna.

Tuggar said Friday that the development contained in a viral video, contravenes the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which stipulates that all people, including Nigerian sports men and women in the diaspora, must be treated with dignity.
