Abubakar Bello-Osagie (born 11 August 1988), commonly known as Abubakar or Abu, is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays as a striker, most recently for Marsaskala in Malta.
Born in Benin City, Edo State, in 2005, he left Bendel Insurance of his home city of Benin, and joined River Plate in Argentina.[1]
Bello-Osagie joined Rio de Janeiro-based club Vasco in December 2007, after being scouted by the former footballer Bismarck.[2] On 17 July 2008, he stayed on the bench for the first time, against Goiás,[3] playing his first professional league match as a Vasco player on 20 July 2008,[4] when his club was defeated by Atlético-PR 3–1 at Arena da Baixada, Curitiba, for the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. He played four Série A matches in 2008, without scoring a goal. Abu signed on 29 April 2009 for Caxias.[5]
In the summer of 2010 Abu signed for Qormi in the Maltese Premier Division, where he enjoyed a very successful spell and achieved several accolades, such as 'Player of the Month'.[6] He played for various clubs in Malta from 2010, before leaving Marsaskala in 2022.[7]
