According to AllNigeriaSoccer, he sustained the spinal cord injury two years ago and was admitted into Bida hospital. He was later discharged but later admitted after he relapsed.
The Media Officer of the team, David King, has confirmed the unfortunate incident this morning and said the club was awaiting communication from the player’s family on the burial arrangements.
May his Soul Rest in Peace, Amen!!
