Bovi has described Nigeria’s former international football star, Wilson Oruma as a true Nigerian hero.

The comedian revealed this on his Instagram page on Thursday, February 15, 2018, where he posted a photo of himself and Oruma. A visibly excited Bovi explained that he bumped into the footballer at the home of the Nigeria Football Federation president, Amaju Pinnick and had amazing words to describe him.

“Ran into a Nigerian hero today at the NFF presidents house. A hero is one who leaves you with fond memories. Wilson Oruma is a true Nigerian hero,” he captioned the photo.

It would be recalled that back in January 2018, the news broke of the ex-international suffering from a mental breakdown after losing NI.2B in a fake oil business which came as a shock to a lot of Nigerians.
