“He bought a house for our dad with his first salary”- Osimhen’s siblings defend, reveal more details

The Super Eagles striker has been in the middle of a back-and-forth between his siblings, but he seems to have the numbers to back him

Two of Victor Osimhen’s siblings have risen to his defense concerning the accusations from their sister Esther Osimhen and her husband Osita that the Nigerian striker owes them up to 210million naira.

Osimhen’s brother-in-law Osita Okolo worked with his former agent William D’Avila to seal his transfer to Napoli in 2020. However, Osita alleged that the Super Eagles striker asked to borrow the proceeds from the deal with the promise that he would return the money.

But Osita said that Osimhen refused to return the money, leaving him financially unstable.

Nonetheless, two of Osimhen’s siblings Esther and Andrew have risen to the striker’s defense. They revealed that the 23-year-old has been the shining light in the family, helping them financially since his rise to stardom.

What Andrew Osimhen said.

“Osita has been speaking a lot of jargon, but he can’t say all those things to my face,” Andrew told Daddy Freeze.

“There were some things that happened as far back as 2016. I was in Germany with my brother(Osimhen), but Osita was the one that orchestrated my return to Nigeria.

“I had issues with Osimhen because of Osita’s deceit, we didn’t speak for one year. But the thing is Osimhen’s success started with me. I sacrificed a lot for all my siblings because I’m the oldest.

“But God used Osimhen to bless us all. But it would be so ungrateful for one person to say another person is not doing the needful.

“From 2016 till date, Osita’s wife (Esther) has received millions of Naira. Even Osita has made a lot of money through Osimhen.

“I know all about the money that Osita is talking about. Osita’s wife Esther was very close to my brother.

“She said she’s suffering, but she is the cause. When they received their first millions, she and her husband went to buy two cars immediately.

“I used my own money to buy my own house. Osimhen never told anyone how to use the money he gave them, so there’s no reason for anyone to blame him for their misfortune.

“Osimhen bought Osita a car and gave him €10,000. I heard about it, but I didn’t say anything because I want progress from him too.

“Osita was with Osimhen in Italy, but I never went to Italy. I’m here running things on my own. All these things do not freak me.

“Osita is blackmailing somebody that brought him to the limelight. He is not Osimhen’s manager, he just checked documents and served as his representative occasionally.

“Osimhen left me, but I never complained. Osita has no cause to blackmail my brother everywhere, it is unacceptable.

“Esther has collected nothing less than 40million naira from Osimhen. What did they use that money to do?

“I have confirmed that Osita bought a house. He went to meet a lawyer, but the lawyer refused to take up the case because Osimhen did nothing wrong.

“Osita once said that he was only after the money, and he didn’t care about Osimhen’s career. That was why Osimhen sacked him, Osimehn chased him away,”

“People like to rubbish Osimhen’s name, saying he doesn’t help. But his best friend is in Chicago at the moment all thanks to him.

“Osita forged my brother’s signature on the power of attorney and he’s going to face a lawsuit.

“Osita forged “D’Avila’s signature. He has been spoiling Osimhen’s name, but I promise that he will go to jail.

“He has done a lot of damage to my brother. He has stolen from my brother, unremitted funds, we have proof.

“We are seven in number, six to one. When Osimhen gives us money, he gives it equally,” Andrew concluded.

 

Blessing Osimhen is insync

Meanwhile, Osimhen’s other sister Blessing shared her own side of the story.

“When I heard the story from Osita and my sister(Esther), I was not surprised. Everything they said is false.

“Esther begged me to beg Osimhen to allow her husband(Osita) to work with Osimhen. Then I told her that she and her husband had to do the right things.

“Esther agreed. Then when Osita started working with Osimhen, she told me that Osita was bringing money to us, and we would not lack anything.

“Even before Osita started working with Osimhen, we were already receiving millions because of Osimhen, the first time in our lives.

“When Osimhen got his first pay, he said he was going to lift us from poverty, and he got a house for our dad in Magodo.

“Osita lied that he stuck with Osimhen through thick and thin. But the only thing Osita did for Osimhen was 17,000 naira that he gave him money as a flight ticket.” Blessing said.
