President of The Nigerian Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick, has now denied the reports. He was quoted as saying:

"Some online reports suggesting our player, Ahmed Musa was involved in wife battering are false. I'm in touch with Ahmed Musa. Musa remains a responsible family man & player. He is also very committed to seeing that we realize our dreams of making it to Russia 2018 World Cup."
