Super Eagles Striker Takes Legal Action Against Turkish Journalist

Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian football star currently shining for Galatasaray, has found himself at the center of controversy off the pitch. Known for his goal-scoring prowess, the 26-year-old striker, who has racked up 16 goals and five assists in 21 matches this season, is now battling allegations of assault made by Turkish journalist Tolga Bozduman.

The incident allegedly occurred after Galatasaray’s dramatic 3-3 draw against Dynamo Kyiv two weeks ago. Bozduman claimed that Osimhen assaulted him when he tried to take pictures of the striker. The accusation has sparked widespread debate, with some critics pointing to Osimhen’s fiery temperament as reason to believe the journalist’s claims.

However, Osimhen has vehemently denied the allegations, even mocking the situation during Galatasaray’s recent match against Konyaspor. After scoring, the striker made a comical gesture, which he later posted on his social media, further fueling conversations around the matter.

In a significant development, Osimhen has decided to sue Bozduman for defamation. The striker, speaking through journalist Buchi Laba, stated, “If I hit him, he’s going to get justice, and if he lied, he’s going to get the rot of the law.”

The court hearing is set to begin on Monday, where the truth behind the allegations will be determined. Meanwhile, Osimhen remains focused on his performances as Galatasaray pushes for glory in the Turkish Super Lig and UEFA Europa League.
