The 35-year-old, who scored 15 goals last season, got praises for his meeting and the partnership with Pastor Jerry Eze which could bring some divine intervention to help his club challenge for top honours in the Saudi Pro League.
However, it seems the forward alliance with the Nigerian Police hasn’t gone down well with some sections of his followers given the discontent in the comment section.

Ighalo, who earned 35 caps for the Super Eagles, is wasting no time in using his platform to forge strong connections back home in Nigeria.
