Italian television personality Marika Fruscio has appealed for peace from Nigerians after she criticised Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen amid his recent troubles with Napoli.
Osimhen, the Nigerian international, took the step of deleting all posts related to the Italian club from his Instagram account this week, following a mocking incident by the club on their official TikTok account.
Fruscio expressed her disagreement with Osimhen’s actions and vented her opinions about the former Lille striker.
This led to strong reactions from Nigerians, who criticised her in the comments section of her Instagram post.
The TV personality, who has since made her account private, has responded to the fans who engaged with her online.
The Italian beauty also expressed her love of Africa and her thoughts on talent stemming from the continent.
“I have always appreciated their talents and, moreover, the beautiful values in terms of friendship and positivity they have. Now days are so full of bad news so let’s spread love and peace. Hugs to you all,” she concluded.
It was reported that Osimhen deleted all Napoli-related content on Instagram after the club mocked his penalty miss with a controversial TikTok post.
The Super Eagles striker fired blank and fluffed a spot kick attempt as the reigning Serie A champions were held to a goalless draw in Serie A by Bologna over the weekend.
In a now-deleted post on the platform, Napoli shared a video after the game depicting Osimhen missing from the spot along with a high-pitched voiceover mocking him.
