Super Eagles midfielder John Ogu has released a video confirming that he is alive and well despite the conflict between Israel and Palestine, which has caused the death of over 2,000 people.
There are some Nigerian players in Israel like Super Eagles midfielder Ogu, who currently plies his trade in Maccabi Jaffa and Adebayo Adeleye, who was named in the 25-man squad for Nigeria’s friendly games against Saudi Arabia and Mozambique.
There have been concerns raised about the safety of these players amidst the conflict in Israel. However, Ogu, who has 26 caps for the Super Eagles, has released a video stating that he is hale and hearty.
“So here I am. To everyone checking up on me, thank you very much. I really appreciate you guys, I appreciate your messages, I am safe. Just pray for Israel; it means a lot,” Ogu said.
