Fast-rising TikTok sensation Jose Angel Napi, best known as Napi, recently stormed the Super Eagles’ hotel in Côte d'Ivoire to play a practical joke on them.

The young man was barefoot and dressed in ragged attire, which invariably gave him the identity of a roaming madman.

He first approached Frank Onyeka, who was in the middle of a conversation, and reached out to touch the midfielder, who quickly retreated.

He then abandoned Onyeka to meet Terem Moffi and touched his lush, dark Afro hair.

Napi left Moffi and went to stand before Kenneth Omeruo for a short while before leaving aimlessly.

Joe Aribo was just about to board the lift when Napi came to him. The midfielder immediately gave way, fearing he was dealing with a mentally ill individual.

Napi moved on to the lift and was about to press a button when the door opened with Osimhen inside.

On seeing the funny, bizarre figure before him, the Napoli striker immediately pressed a button on the lift to shut it off.

On Sunday, February 11, the Eagles will play against the host country, Côte d'Ivoire, in the championship final match.
