The poor run of Nigerian and Leicester City striker, Ahmed Musa is having might not be ending soon as he has reportedly been arrested by British Police on suspicion of beating his wife, Jamila.
The officers swooped on his home in response to a domestic abuse complaint barely hours after Leicester City edged Sunderland 2-0 in their Premier League clash late Tuesday according to reports.
Ten hours later, two plain-clothed female officers returned to his residence and took him away on suspicion of common assault after taking a statement from his wife and mother of his two young children, Ahmed Jnr and Halima.
A 24-year-old man was arrested yesterday morning at his home address near Leicester on suspicion of common assault,” a spokesman for Leicestershire Police said:
A neighbor who spoke with The Sun said, “Ahmed is a nice guy. He always has a friendly smile. I don’t know anything about his private life.”
Another man on his street said: “You never hear noise coming from the house. I had no idea the police had been called there.”
Leicester’s most expensive player, Ahmed Musa joined the side from Russian side CSKA Moscow for £16.6million in the summer of 2016 although he has struggled for form, starting only seven league games this season before manager Claudio Ranieri was fired as the side battled the drop.
The Nigerian international was not part of the 18-man squad which beat Sunderland at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday.
