In February, Iwobi became a victim of cyber bullying, after some Super Eagles fans attacked him on social media.
The online attacks came after Nigeria lost the Africa Cup Of Nations (AFCON) 2023 final match 1-2 to hosts Cote d’Ivoire with social deviants believing Iwobi’s performance was below par all through the tournament.
The saga later turned messy, forcing the midfielder to leave the social media after deleted all the pictures and videos on his accounts.
Confirmed the cyber bullying via his verified social media page, Iwobi wrote, “For me , I have taken myself out of social media after yesterday’s game.”
However, after leaving the social media space for a few weeks, the super Eagles midfielder later returned to the applause of many Nigerians.
