However, some groups of journalists were already on standby, ready to welcome him, as if they had been informed earlier of his coming.
flodding questions from the press demanded whether Osimhen was mentally and physically ready to play for his club this coming weekend.
The former Lille striker was in haste, trying to dodge the questions thrown at him as he quickly entered a parked jeep waiting for him.
Reports showed that Osimhen lost 3–4 kg in weight during the AFCON 2023 competition due to the stress he encountered even after the tournament's conclusion.
Following that, his club worries about his physical fitness in their match against Barcelona on Wednesday, February 21.

Victor Osimhen cautions Nigerians dragging Alex Iwobi
The Super Eagles superstar asked his fellow Nigerians to remain objective when criticising them following the negative comments and insults Alex Iwobi had been getting.
Among other Eagles who have spoken, Osimhen added that fans should understand that footballers were just humans like them.
He went on to say that the bad comments Iwobi had been getting online could affect him mentally and make him lose focus and form.
Iwobi's uncle, Jay Jay Okocha, also addressed Nigerians over the issue.
