Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye was recently called out on social media by his girlfriend, Jelicia Westhoff, as the reason emerges for the incident.

Okoye rose to prominence with the Super Eagles during Gernot Rohr's rein, making his debut as a substitute in the 1-1 draw against Brazil in 2019, replacing the injured Francis Uzoho.

He retained the starting shirt and was in goal at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations but lost his place after conceding a cheap goal in the round of 16 elimination to Tunisia.
