Galatasaray fans criticizes Rwandan defender for injuring Osimhen during WCQ
Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen was at the center of drama during the World Cup qualifier between Nigeria and Rwanda after a harsh tackle forced him out of the game. The incident has now caused anger among Galatasaray supporters, who blame the Rwandan defender for injuring their star man.
The injury happened in the first half when Osimhen clashed with defender Claude Niyomugabo inside the box. He went down clutching his ankle and couldn’t continue, leading to his substitution before halftime. Frustrated, Osimhen confronted the Rwandan player during the break, but the defender quickly apologized as coaches and teammates stepped in to calm the situation.
Reactions spilled onto social media immediately, with many Galatasaray fans attacking Niyomugabo for what they described as a reckless challenge. To them, Osimhen is not just a Nigerian forward but a key player for their club in Turkey, and any injury to him is seen as a major blow.
Former Super Eagles coach Samson Siasia also weighed in, saying Rwanda’s defenders seemed determined to stop Osimhen at all costs because of the problems he was causing them. He suggested the foul may not have been accidental but a tactical move to silence Nigeria’s main threat.
Nigerian politician Peter Obi reacts to the viral incident that occurred in Delta State.
It can be noted that Obi is reacting to the clip of a police officer shooting and killing an already restrained suspect.
Obi stated that it was a serious violation and abuse of power “The extrajudicial killing of a young Nigerian in Effurun, Delta State, by a police officer, Mr. Mene Ogidi, is not only barbaric but also a grave violation of the rule of law.
“Over time, human society has moved away from an era when lives could be taken without consequence. Through the evolution of civilisation, a fundamental principle has emerged: no one should be punished or deprived of life without due process and a fair determination of guilt.”
It has been reported that a four-year ban has been placed on Chelsea’s player, Mykhailo Mudryk, for anti-doping violations.
The player appealed in court on February 25 but has now been handed his punishment, which is a four-year ban from football.
It can be recalled that his last appearance on the field was on November 28, 2024.
