Mikel celebrates arrival of twin daughters

In from Nifemi Daniel …

Super Eagles midfielder, John Obi Mikel’s joy knew no bound on Friday as he welcomed his new twin daughters.

The Chelsea of England player announced this via his Instagram page and shared their pictures on Friday afternoon.

“My whole world in my arms Welcome to the world my angels ‪#‎pooh3 ‪#‎pooh4 ‪#‎twins,” he wrote.

Mikel and his longtime girlfriend, Olga Diyachenko, never dropped any indications that she was pregnant for 9 Months! – so this definitely comes as surprise for everyone.

UK Daily Mirror recently reported that Mikel has fathered two children with two different women.

The Chelsea star however didn’t deny the allegation as sources close to him said he chose to deal with it privately.

He is allegedly a father to a four-year-old son and a one-year-old daughter after short relationships with two unidentified women.

The report also claimed that Mikel financially supports and provides for his two children – so he basically has four to fend for now.
