Mikel's girlfriend Olga has come out to defend him after she was called on Instagram.

The girlfriend of Super Eagles captain Mikel John Obi has denied the accusation that he has abandoned his family.

There have been accusations that Mikel who earns about £140,000 from Chinese club Tianjin TEDA does not take care of his extended family members.

But his girlfriend Olga Diyachenko has come out to defend him after she was called on Instagram.

“Beautiful queen please tell your husband to help his family members and answer his father calls thanks,” a random Instagram user said to her.

 

“He does and always done so!” the Russian beauty said.

Mikel’s dad recently hinted on the strained relationship he has with the Super Eagles midfielder by revealing that he has not spoken to him in five years.

 

“My relationship with Mikel is an issue, but we don’t know what to do. It’s over five years now without a phone call from him to me. But he communicates with his mother,” Pa Michael Obi told Daily Trust Newspaper.

Also recently, someone on Instagram who claims to be a cousin of Mikel called out the football star for abandoning his sick uncle.
