Osimhen sues Turkish journalist over assault allegation, court showdown begins on Monday
Published: January 26, 2025
Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has taken legal action against a Turkish journalist who accused him of physical assault, reveals Nigerian journalist and friend of the Galatasaray star Buchi Laba.
According to Laba, Osimhen has officially sued the Turkish journalist and the case will start in court on Monday, January 26.
The Galatasaray striker has vehemently denied the allegations, describing them as false and malicious.
The journalist in question had reportedly been taking photos of Osimhen when the incident allegedly occurred.
However, Osimhen's version of events contradicts the journalist's account, suggesting that the journalist's actions were invasive and unprofessional.
Osimhen has expressed his shock and disappointment at the journalist's behavior, stating that he was simply trying to protect himself and his rights.
The Nigeria international has also made it clear that he will not tolerate false accusations and will take necessary steps to clear his name.
The journalist, on the other hand, has claimed that Osimhen became violent and aggressive when confronted about the photos.
Osimhen's denial of the allegations suggests that there may be more to the story than initially meets the eye.
Osimhen's decision to file a lawsuit against the journalist is a clear indication that he is committed to defending his reputation and seeking justice.
The Nigerian striker's actions also highlights his confidence in his own version of events.
While journalists have a right to report on public figures, they must also respect the boundaries and rights of those individuals.
In this case, it appears that the journalist may have overstepped those boundaries, leading to a confrontation with Osimhen.
