Nnamdi Kanu has attacked Kelechi Iheanacho, Wilfred Ndidi for celebrating with the Nigerian flag after Leicester City defeated Chelsea to clinch the FA Cup on Saturday night.

Iheanacho who prides himself as Africa’s all-time highest goal sorcerer in the FA Cup led the celebrations with the Nigerian flag while his compatriot Wilfred Ndidi also joined in wrapping the flag around themselves.

The show of affection for the Nigerian flag by the Super Eagles players gathered massive attention on social media.

However, Nnamdi Kanu was left disappointed by the two Nigerian brothers who hailed from southeastern Nigeria.

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) described their actions as shameful and told them to emulate Spanish defender Gerard Pique who always support calls for Catalonia.

“Gerard Pique is a World Cup winner with over 103 caps for Spain. He never turned his back against Catalonia freedom. Severally, he has shown open support for Catalan freedom,”

“But our Iheanacho & Ndidi with #Zoo flag? Shame!
