Maduka Okoye Faces Abuse and Infidelity Claims From Ex-Partner Jelicia Westhoff

Nigerian-German goalkeeper Maduka Okoye is at the centre of serious allegations raised by Jelicia Westhoff, his former partner and the mother of his child.

In a series of social media posts, Westhoff charged that Okoye mistreated her, was unfaithful during their relationship, and has failed to play a meaningful role in their son's upbringing.

Her statements followed pictures of the footballer having a meal with rapper Cardi B in Italy. Westhoff said she stood behind Okoye as his career grew, but claimed he has not given their child adequate support or kept in touch.

Up to now, Okoye has not spoken publicly about the accusations.
