The British Police has arrested Leicester City and Super Eagles winger, Ahmed Musa, for allegedly beating his wife.
According to The Sun Football, the 24-year-old was picked up at his home at 1am on Tuesday.
According to neighbours, the police officers spent two hours at Musa’s five-bedroom detached property in the city’s Countesthorpe area. 10 hours later, two plain-clothed female officers returned to the apartment.
They spent another two hours taking a statement from his wife, Jamila, who has given birth to two children – Ahmed Jnr and Halima – for the player.
“You never hear noise coming from the house. I had no idea the police had been called there,” one of the neighbours said.
Police confirmed: “A 24-year-old man was arrested this morning at his home address near Leicester on suspicion of common assault.”
Musa was recently stripped of the Super Eagles captaincy.
