NFF Defends Leicester Ace Musa : He Is A Responsible Family Man & Did Not Beat His Wife

The Nigeria Football Federation have dismissed reports which emanated from the foreign press that claimed Super Eagles striker Ahmed Musa was detained in Leicester on suspicion of attacking his wife.

NFF supremo Amaju Pinnick has been in contact with the former CSKA Moscow star and said that suggestions that the player was involved in wife battering are incorrect.

“I’m in touch with Ahmed Musa. Reports of wife battering are false. Musa remains a responsible family man and player,” Pinnick said in a statement. 

“Ahmed Musa is also very committed to seeing that we realize our dreams of making it to Russia 2018 World Cup.”

Leicester City higher-ups have spoken to Musa about these reports and are not going to apply any sanctions against their number seven.

The 24-year-old is married to Jamila and has two children.
