British Police early Tuesday arrested Nigerian forward Ahmed Musa on suspicion of beating his wife, The Sun Football reports.

The Leicester City player was picked up at his home at 1am.

According to neighbours the officers spent two hours at Musa’s £850,000 five-bedroom detached property in the city’s Countesthorpe area.

Ten hours later, two plain-clothed female officers returned to the apartment.

It was gathered that they spent another two hours taking a statement from his wife Jamila, mum to Musa’s two young children Ahmed Jnr and Halima.

Police confirmed they held Musa, 24, on suspicion of common assault.

One of the neighbours said, “You never hear noise coming from the house. I had no idea the police had been called there.”

Police said, “A 24-year-old man was arrested this morning at his home address near Leicester on suspicion of common assault.”
