Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi has cleared his official Instagram page of all photos, fueling reports of his intention to retire from the national team. A recent check on Monday afternoon by Headlines News confirmed that only one video remains on his account.
Iwobi, one of the players criticized after Nigeria’s 2-1 loss to Ivory Coast in the 2023 AFCON final on February 11, 2024, is reportedly contemplating leaving the national team.
In Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, it is reported that the 27-year-old footballer has grown weary of cyberbullying directed at him following his participation in AFCON 2023, where Nigeria reached the final.
Critics argue that Iwobi underperformed during AFCON 2023 and in recent years, with bullies taking their criticism to social media by posting hate comments on his page.
The former Arsenal player has taken measures by deleting all his Instagram pictures, as some individuals continue to post abusive comments on his old social media photos.
