The Head Coach of kickboxing in Ogun State, Olufunke Ogunsuyi, has been confirmed dead.

Baba God we nor spoil own so our own nor go spoil untimely death is never our portion we are all blessed..

Kai

She was killed, RIP

R.I.P
Sudden death is no longer that abnormal and terrifying in Nigeria anymore.

There are many ways to exit mother earth...But untimely death shouldn't and wouldn't be one of them for us.....

But kick-boxing? So we get this sport for Nigeria

At ways,rip.....

Tapout:


No autopsy?? Why do we take autopsy for granted in this country

She couldn't have just die like that, Except she had a known underlying ailment.

We Nigerians don't really see the need for that...At least eye guage is enough to examine a corpse

Some people are just so heartless...imagine killing ur fellow human being

Skull mined no doubt
Fear Afonjas!!

Kyari why
