Reacting to the development, Ighalo, in a post via X handle, lamented the criticisms surrounding the issue.
According to him, Osimhen was in pain when they spoke.
He wrote: “No human being is perfect and we have all made mistakes in life, but seeing comments about this young man from his own country makes me really sad, without even knowing what happened.
“I spoke to him and I can feel the pain in his voice, the way he’s been treated, this young man plays with heart and pain for his country, Hmmm it’s well, he will definitely be back stronger, we learn everyday in life.”
