Former Nigeria defender Sani Abacha slumped
and was pronounced dead early on Thursday
morning in Ilorin.
The defender, who was 41, played for a host of clubs
in Nigeria including Enyimba, Shooting Stars,
Gateway and Kwara United, and was at Wednesday’s
Nigeria Premier League game between ABS and
Nadarawa United.
“He was like our team pastor,” ABS General Manager
Alloy Chukwuemeka told KickOffNigeria.com. “He
used to pray for the team before every game.
“He did the same thing before our game on
Wednesday and then watched the match only to
slump when he got home. He was taken to hospital
where he died this morning.”
Abacha was buried on Thursday afternoon in Ilorin.
