Confederation of African Football (CAF) has subjected Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen to random drug tests twice during the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

Osimhen played a crucial role in Nigeria's 1-0 victory over the hosts, Cote d'Ivoire, during the group stages, earning the team a penalty after being fouled in the box.

In the last-16 clash against the Indomitable Lions, the Napoli striker delivered a powerful performance as Nigeria secured a 2-0 win. Osimhen assisted the first goal scored by Ademola Lookman and posed a continuous threat to the Cameroonian team before being substituted late in the game.

According to reports from DAILY POST, the current CAF Player of the Year underwent drug testing before the matches against Cote d'Ivoire and Cameroon.

“(He was) tested against Cote d’Ivoire and Cameroon. That is twice in four games,” a source said.

25-year-old striker scored his sole goal of the tournament in the 1-1 draw against Equatorial Guinea in the initial group fixtures.

Nevertheless, Osimhen is anticipated to be the primary attacking force for the three-time champions in the upcoming quarterfinal against Angola on Friday.
