Super Eagles striker, Umar Sadiq, has issued a serious warning to people trying to bully him on social media.

Sadiq who missed the just-concluded 2023 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast due to injury issued this warning on Instagram.

Online bullies hit out hard on Iwobi, accusing him of underperforming in the Super Eagles’ 2-1 defeat to Ivory Coast on Sunday.

Iwobi as a result of the online insults decided to delete all the pictures on his Instagram page.

The bullies did not stop there as they went for Sadiq who was not even a part of the Super Eagles’ squad to AFCON 2023, a move which got the Real Sociedad striker angry.

“I no even play, you con dey insult me,” an extremely angry Sadiq wrote on his Instagram story.

“Abeg oo, me I no be iwobi. I go Insult person papa with him mama join. Yes, I be dat topical Hausa boy. Abi you see fear for my eyes?”

Sadiq is set to make his 30th appearance of the season for Sociedad which face Paris Saint-Germain in the first-leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie on Wednesday.
