Nigerian govt reacts to Osimhen-Napoli row, demands fair treatment of citizens abroad

The Federal Government has reacted to the row between Nigerian international, Victor Osimhen and his club, Napoli, warning that Nigerians abroad must not be maltreated.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar, gave the warning in a statement by his media aide, Abubakar Alkasim on Friday, insisting that Nigerian sportsmen and women in the Diaspora must be treated with dignity.

The minister’s warning is coming against the background of Napoli’s TikTok account trolling Osimhen for missing a penalty kick in a match against Bologna.
