Ahmed Musa made his first appearance for the Super Eagles in 18 months during Nigeria’s 2-1 victory over Ghana on Wednesday night, May 28.

The AFCON winner came on as a substitute in the 60th minute, replacing AC Milan winger Samuel Chukwueze, and contributed to the team’s qualification for the final.

The winger has since left the Super Eagles camp and will not feature in today’s final against Jamaica.

Ahmed Musa played a vital role in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) for Kano Pillars, scoring 10 goals and providing two assists in 23 appearances.

His performance earned him a recall to the Super Eagles for the Unity Cup.

Musa marries fourth wife

Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa has married his fourth wife, Asmau Moriki, in a wedding ceremony in Kano on Friday evening, May 30.

The 32-year-old currently plays for Kano Pillars FC in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) after his contract expired with Sivasspor of Turkey.

In a post on X, the former CSKA Moscow player had a modest and simple wedding, which was attended by close associates and teammates.

The former Leicester City forward is getting married again, four years after a low-key marriage to Maryam Adamu Jajere from Yobe state.
