Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman has sent a strong message of unity to fans by sharing photos with teammates Victor Osimhen and Bruno Onyemaechi on Instagram, a day after Nigeria's 4-0 victory over Mozambique in the AFCON round of 16.
The post, captioned simply "TOGETHER ALWAYS", follows a heated on-pitch exchange between Lookman and Osimhen during Tuesday's match, which had sparked speculation about a potential rift within the squad.
The incident, where Osimhen was seen gesturing animatedly towards Lookman, prompted criticism from some fans and debate online. However, Lookman had already moved to quell these rumours immediately after the game.
"It’s just football. It’s always football. He is my brother," Lookman told reporters in the post-match press conference.
Team captain Wilfred Ndidi also addressed the situation, framing the moment as a byproduct of the team's intense competitive spirit and desire to win, rather than any personal disagreement.
Lookman's latest social media post provides a visual affirmation of the squad's harmony as Nigeria prepares for the tournament's quarter-finals, firmly putting the brief on-field disagreement to rest.
