Nigerian striker, Ahmed Musa has denied news reports on the internet suggesting that he tested positive for COVID-19.
On Wednesday, Musa, who plays for Saudi Arabian team Al-Nassr, took to his Instagram page to share a photo of his family on a private jet.
He explained that he and the family returned from Saudi Arabia decided to follow the federal government’s rule of isolation for 14 days.
Musa wrote: “It has come to my notice that certain individuals have decided to post false news about me testing positive to Covid 19.
“This is a pandemic taking people’s lives in thousands so it is sad that some people want to use this to gain followers or views on their pages by spreading falsehood.
“My family returned from Saudi Arabia decided to follow the government’s rule of isolation for 14 days not because any of us have the virus.
“We are perfectly okay and have not tested positive to the virus. Please don’t fall for the malicious messages circulating about me or my family.
“Stay safe, maintain social distancing.”
