Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen who recently signed for Italian Serie A side Napoli, has taken to his twitter page to blast Punch Newspaper for fabricating a false story about him.

Victor Osimhen joined Napoli from Lille last month for a record fee of €70 million which could potentially rise to €80 million.

Following a false story by Punch Newspaper about him with the headline which read, "I want to emulate Maradona at Napoli", Victor Osimhen has now come out to debunk such news stating that he has not granted any interview since his father died in May 2020 and such stories were false.

He warned Punch Newspaper against fabricating fake stories. Part of the post which was shared by Victor Osimhen on his twitter page read,

"I never said such a thing, y’all copy paste journalist just like to fabricate lies, since the passing of my late father I haven’t grant any interview whatsoever, stop this nonsense else na thunder go fire una."

Lagos Ibadan expressway media, that's the same way they were releasing statements daily claiming it was from the then factional APC Acting Chairman Late Ajimobi who was in ICU battling for his life until Buhari dissolved the party executive and they declared the man died that same day.

Fake news media is a problem to the world

Punchline33:
Though fake news is bad but trying to emulate Maradona is not bad for motivation

Mr Punchline just responded for Punch newspaper.
What a coincidence!
Savage!

persius555:
They want to kill this boys career before he start. This could pitch osimhen against the clubs history and legacy. Italians dont joke with such. Now, he is probably going to be under intense pressure to deliver.

SECONDED!
You are a wise man!!

Bros Osimhen should calm down. Our lazy and brown envelope journalists only know how to fabricate and manufacture stories to sell their papers. Journalism is dead in Nigeria

Take it easy bro, you still need them on your way to the top. The story may be fake but it's actually a good thing for you to follow in the footsteps of a legend. Such story is even an honour to you.

Using uncouth language against them can be counterproductive.

A word is enough for the wise.

This is what you get when every with phone cum data turn journalist.....


NB... Guy good you debunk the fake news on time before they hype you to your downfall....

Common Meeenh

Don't curse them

Just sue their ass

Always peddling false news as far as it will generate traffic

Baba osi no mind them... Focus on your new club

When did Punch become like this?

Guy please grow above this abusive words please.

Though fake news is bad but trying to emulate Maradona is not bad for motivation

That is why we all should always take what is said in the news; print or digital, with a pinch of salt.

Nonsense

such a childish response

Since the emergence of social media and mobile news networks, news papers in Nigeria become useless, toothless and demeaning.

The last time I patronized them was the day I did change of name.

Thunder don fire dem already, Na part of it make dem carry ur tory like that....
