Constant abuse and undue criticism of Odion Ighalo and his family members forced the Shanghai Shenhua forward to retire from international football, the player has reiterated.
Ighalo followed in the footsteps of John Mikel Obi by calling time on his Super Eagles commitment on Friday.
After the Super Eagles Third-Place match against Tunisia on Wednesday, Ighalo told Rohr about his decision to quit the team and the German accepted his stance.
Ighalo promptly told the coach he could no longer cope with insults and abuse directed at him and his family.
He is now expected to now concentrate on his club career with Rohr having obliged to his request to retire from the team this time around.
