Akor Adams makes cryptic post
Super Eagles striker Akor Adams shared a cryptic post on his X page shortly after Senegal defeated Morocco to win the AFCON 2025 trophy.
Adams shared a video of his goal celebration against Algeria, which honoured DR Congo superfan Michel Kuka Mboladinga, who laid tribute to Patrice Lumumba.
The Sevilla forward captioned the video “Africa❤️”, and the timing has made Nigerians suggest it is a direct jibe at losing finalist Morocco.
The Atlas Lions defeated Nigeria on penalties in the semi-final under controversial officiating by Ghanaian referee Daniel Nii Ayi Laryea.

“I think you do not kick somebody when he's down, not to name names but I think he was passionate for his country, that's the fan I'm talking about now, and when Congo lost, all that happened was not acceptable, it's not acceptable in Africa,” he told Ademola Victor TV.
