Nigerian captain John Mikel Obi and Watford striker Odion Ighalo hung out with a disabled but brilliant boy called Abubakar Haruna Gurugu.

Abubakar Haruna Gurugu can’t walk and is about 15 years old but he is a bona fide super Eagles fan, he moves around using his arms and legs.

Lucky enough Haruna was present at Nigeria’s training camp this week an according to Goal.com, it was a Watford striker who first paid attention to the lad this week:

It was striker Odion Ighalo who first took interest in the lad before Abubakar then turned his charms on captain John Obi Mikel. Mikel and the young man spoke for almost five minutes about Friday’s game among many other topics while seated on the tartan tracks of the stadium.

Abubakar Haruna Gurugu has also spoken to the football website, revealing what he discussed with the players:

I wasn’t happy about the draw. How can Egypt draw Nigeria in Kaduna!

The report tails off claiming that Ighalo swapped phone numbers with the boy, while Mikel pledged to offer assistance to the family.
