Super Eagles right-back and defensive midfielder Shehu Abdullahi has welcomed a baby boy with his actress wife, Naja’atu Suleiman.
The 29-year-old, who plays for Cypriot First Division side Omonia, said in a tweet that the baby was born on Thursday morning.
“We are thrilled to announce our baby boy, mother and baby are in good health. We thank Allah!” He said.
“We were blessed with the arrival of our son this morning. We appreciate your prayers.”
In June 2021, Abdullahi got married in Kano, with teammate and captain Ahmed Musa in attendance.
The midfielder was first married to Sumayya Mustapha before the union ended.
Abdullahi is part of the Super Eagles team that will be playing Ghana in Kumasi on Friday in the first leg of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
