Nigeria international, Alex Iwobi, has taken down all the pictures and videos on his official Instagram page except one.
A recent check on the Fulham star’s account shows that only one video is left on the account with over 1.3 million followers.
The clip in question which is that of Iwobi opening what looks like a journal and it was posted 10 weeks ago but the comment section is currently locked.
The 27-year-old midfielder’s decision to delete all pictures may not be unconnected with the heavy criticism he faced as a result of Nigeria’s 2-1 defeat to Ivory Coast in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations final on Sunday.
The Fulham midfielder, who played for 79 minutes was replaced by Alhassan Yusuf for the final 10 minutes of the game.
