Osimhen Takes Legal Action Against Journalist Over False Assault Claims
Victor Osimhen, the star striker for Galatasaray, has filed a defamation lawsuit against Turkish journalist Tolga Bozduman following allegations made by the journalist.
This legal action was confirmed by Osimhen’s close friend and radio host Onokala Onyebuchi, also known as Buchi Laba, in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday.
Buchi Laba tweeted, “Victor Osimhen has officially sued the journalist that accused him of hitting him. The case will officially start in court tomorrow.”
The controversy began earlier this month after a tense 3-3 draw between Galatasaray and Dynamo Kyiv when Bozduman accused Osimhen of assaulting him.
The journalist claimed that the Nigerian forward became aggressive and punched him while he was attempting to take photos outside a venue.
Adding to the drama, reports surfaced suggesting that Osimhen had allegedly offered money to have footage of the incident deleted. However, Osimhen has vehemently denied these claims, calling them completely false.
“If I hit him, he’s going to get justice, and if he lied, he’s going to get the wrath of the law.”
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
Poland footballer Robert Lewandowski’s new club has officially been revealed.
It can be noted that the player was involved in the ongoing summer transfer window, with negotiations taking place over his future.
The footballer will be joining Chicago Fire. It can be recalled that he visited the club two weeks ago, and the move has now been confirmed. The information was shared by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Former footballer Zlatan Ibrahimović speaks on the FIFA World Cup and states which African team countries should watch out for.
During a recent interview, the former player shared that Ivory Coast should be one of the teams to look out for.
“They can be dangerous. It is a very good team. They lost against Germany, but that game could have been a draw or even a win.
“So, it’s not like they came out of the group with one loss because of a bad game against Germany. They played a good game against Germany and could easily have gotten a point against them.”
