Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, has been selected by the Confederation of African Football, CAF, for random drug tests at the tournament.

A source told newsmen POST that Osimhen was tested against hosts, Cote dโ€™Ivoire and Cameroon.

โ€œ(He was) tested against Cote dโ€™Ivoire and Cameroon. That is twice in four games,โ€ the source said.

The Napoli striker was fouled for the penalty that gave Nigeria a 1-0 win over the Ivorians.

Osimhen then put in a โ€˜battering ramโ€™ performance against the Indomitable Lions as they won 2-0 in a last-16 clash on Sunday.

He set up the first goal for Ademola Lookman and was a constant menace for the Cameroonians, before he was replaced by Paul Onuachu late in the game.

Osimhenโ€™s only goal came in the 1-1 draw against Equatorial Guinea in their first fixtures.

The current CAF Player of the Year is expected to lead the line for the three-time champions when they face Angola in the quarter-finals this week.
