Sadiq Umar, a Nigerian footballer, has responded to fans who heavily criticized him through direct messages, despite his lack of involvement in the AFCON finals. He participated in the beginning of the AFCON tournament, but had to be benched due to a Meniscus injury that he sustained during a friendly match with Guinea. As a result, he left the AFCON and returned to his home club. Upon further diagnosis, it was revealed that his injury was just a minor swell. Despite this, after Nigeria’s loss to Ivory Coast in the finals, many fans have taken to criticizing the players, with Iwobi receiving most of the backlash. It appears that some fans also sent Sadiq Umar some provocative messages, to which he responded through his Instagram story.
He wrote;
“I no even play you con dey insult me
