According to Metro UK, Mikel was leaving a training session with the team when the reporter approached him to talk about Nigeria's upcoming matches. Mikel is said to have become irritated, and lashed out.
Meanwhile the Super Eagles midfielder John Obi Mikel is
facing massive scruntiny after being accused of assaulting an Abuja KISS FM
journalist, who asked for an interview. The story was first brought to light by
BBC journalist Oluwashina Okeleji, who tweeted about the incident.
This is the
second reported incident involving Mikel and members of the press this week.
Earlier in the week, sports journalist Colin Udoh alleged that Mikel verbally
assaulted him on a plane, following the Eagles' poorly-played match in Khartoum
last Saturday. In that incident, Mikel was said to have unleashed a "vitriolic assault" on a "former captain of the team" and had a "few choice words" for others.
