Ahmed Musa considering legal action over wife battery reports.

Nigerian forward, Ahmed Musa, who had allegations of wife battery leveled against him earlier today is reportedly considering legal actions, his agent, Tony Harris has revealed. Tony confirmed that the Leicester City star had a minor argument with his wife and was questioned by Leicestershire police in the early hours of Wednesday morning but that didn’t escalate into a physical fight and he was later released without charge.
Musa was disturbed by the news and has been in touch with his legal representatives to discuss potential action.
“A row ensued between Musa and Jamila which drew the attention of neighbours and the police were notified.The police duly spoke with Musa along with a couple of witnesses in the house and have since closed the matter with no further action whatsoever as there is no case to answer. No charges were brought against Musa or his wife. It’s normal for a couple to have a bit of a row now and again, however, Musa did not at any point hit his wife nor was he attacked by her. It was a mere domestic issue which has now been resolved and they are now talking again. Everyone knows Musa is a jolly good fellow. He doesn’t drink or smoke, doesn’t party and has never been in trouble with the police all his life. He couldn’t harm a fly.” Tony said.
