Chelsea star John Obi Mikel allegedly assaulted a female journalist who
asked him for an interview while on international duty with Nigeria.
Mikel was apparently leaving a training session with his national team
when the reporter from KISS FM in Abuja approached him. She is said to
have asked the Blues midfielder for an interview to discuss Nigeria’s
forthcoming matches but an irritated Mikel then lashed out. The details
were reported by BBC broadcaster Oluwashina Okeleji, who says that the
journalist has since forgiven Mikel for the incident. It’s not the first
time this week that Mikel has been accused of trouble with the media,
with sports writer Colin Udoh tweeting that he’d been verbally abused
while asking questions.
