The players, who received heat from Nigerians for losing to Cote D'Ivoire, did not seem enthusiastic about talking to the press.
A video has captured the moment Super Eagles strikers, Victor Osimhen and Alex Iwobi ignored journalists who approached them for an interview about their loss to Ivory Coast at the AFCON finals.
The Super Eagles players were all dressed in green as they returned to Nigeria after coming second at the just-concluded Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The players, who received heat from Nigerians for losing to Cote D'Ivoire, did not seem enthusiastic about talking to the press.
As Alex Iwobi approached, holding his passport in one hand, a journalist moved close to him and said: "Alex Iwobi, can we talk to you, please? Come, please, come."
Alex looked at the journalist and immediately turned to walk away.
As Osimhen approached, the journalist pushed a microphone in his face and asked: "Osimhen, how does it feel to be back home?"
"Make una free me, abeg. Make una free me," Osimhen replied as he dodged the mic.
This comes after Osimhen and other Super Eagles players took to Instagram to stand with Alex Iwobi after Nigerians subjected him to online bullying in anger over Nigeria's loss to Cote D'Ivoire.
