Robbed by a prostitute? Super Eagles star breaks silence on brewing scandal

Bright Osayi-Samuel has broken his silence after being thrust into controversy following a reported burglary at his home in Istanbul — an incident clouded in mystery and salacious claims involving a paid escort, footynaija.com reports.

The Nigeria international and Fenerbahçe star is furious over speculation that a woman he allegedly invited to his home for a private encounter was behind the theft, as per Ilkhaber-Gazetesi.

Personal items, including a luxury watch and wallet, were reportedly stolen — but Osayi-Samuel insists there’s more to the story than what’s being peddled in the press.

Taking to social media, the 27-year-old wrote: “As always, my name is being systematically tarnished. I will expose everyone and everything when the season is over.”

Sources close to the player suggest he believes he is being targeted in a calculated smear campaign, one designed to destabilise him amid ongoing contract uncertainty at Fenerbahçe.

The Turkish giants, without a league title in 11 years, narrowly missed out again this season — finishing second to Galatasaray — and are now facing the prospect of losing one of their most consistent performers.

While police investigations into the robbery are ongoing, Osayi-Samuel has chosen to remain focused on football for now, with his club and José Mourinho staying tight-lipped on the issue.

Having provided eight assists in 37 matches this season and racking up 176 appearances since joining in 2021, Osayi-Samuel’s importance to Fenerbahçe is clear. But with Premier League clubs — notably Crystal Palace — circling, his next move may come with fireworks, especially if his promised post-season revelations shake Turkish football.
