Super Eagles and Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen has condemned the cyberbullying of his teammate, Alex Iwobi.

The Fulham midfielder was subjected to an online attack from fans following Nigeria’s 2 – 1 loss to Ivory Coast in the final of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

The attacks led to Alex deleting all the posts on his Instagram page.

Speaking to reporters in Abuja on Tuesday, February 13, Osimhen urged Nigerians to consider the mental health of players and desist from cyberbullying.

“I urge Nigerians that cyberbullying is bad because we are also humans. Sometimes we make mistakes. Sometimes we have a good game, and we’ll get the hype. But of course, when you criticise, you have to be constructive when doing this type of things.

“I think, to be fair, what they have done to Alex [Iwobi] is out of this world and not good. They should also look at his mental health because there are some of us that can take this to heart and then keep on grinding. And there are some of us that it gets to our heads, and they will lose focus, and we will lose form. So I think we are rallying around him. We have spoken to him individually and collectively.
