LAGOS, Nigeria – Nigerian international striker, Victor Osimhen has apologized to Punch Newspaper after lashing out at it in an emotional outburst.
The Punch newspaper online had published a non-derogatory story on the striker who has just joined Napoli for a record 81 million Euros.
According to the Punch, Victor Osimhen(21) said in an interview that he wants to emulate Diego Maradona at Napoli.
Moments after Punch uploaded the story online, the Nigerian striker rained abuses on the newspaper in a most uncharitable manner.
Specifically, the striker described the reporter as part of a group of copy and paste journalist that fabricate lies, adding that he neither made the statement nor did he at anytime grant such an interview since his father passed on.
