Why I Think Rashidi Yekini Could Have Been Murdered – Segun Odegbami

Retired Nigerian Footballer, Olusegun Odegbami, says he believes his colleague, Rashidi Yekini, was murdered in 2012.

Prior to his death, Yekini was reported to have been ill for an extended period of time after allegedly suffering from bipolar disorder, depression and some other undisclosed psychiatric condition.

But Odegbami in an interview with The Chat disagreed with the claims, saying “nobody could explain the circumstances of his death”.

“His people actually went and abducted him from his car and took him to a native doctor of some sort to cure him of his ‘insanity’, he explained.

“Why insanity?…because he was funding so many philanthropic projects, giving people his money which he had kept in the bank for so long.

“All through his professional career, he didn’t spend a dime of the money he was getting from Europe, so he had a lot of money in UBA at the time, because one of the managers was my friend.

“They had even advised him to invest but with his own native intelligence, he did not do much investment.

“He built his house, did some things but he had a lot of money so he felt like distributing and they said he was mad so they took him to the native doctor and started giving him all kinds of concoctions and the man passed on. So, that’s why I said he could have been murdered”.

Speaking of his life after football, the retired player said himself, as well as many of his colleagues who are still alive, are now suffering the consequences of over-exerting their joints.

According to him, most of them are not doing so well and have been faced with various challenges especially health-wise and with no support at all from the government.

“You’ll see me walk with a limp these days… that’s what happens to the rest of us,” the 67-year-old former footballer said.

“Probably we would have demanded (not for any payment of some sort) but to have created a system or an institution that will take care of us in old age which is something we have found out now”, he added.

ignorance has killed a million times more than natural disasters especially here in Africa, May Yekini's soul continue to RIP

Hey Odegbami,
Please let sleeping dogs lie.

"....the money he was getting from Europe, so he had a lot of money in UBA at the time, because one of the managers was my friend."

That manager was lucky not to be fired for breaching the oath of secrecy he signed.

WHO DOES THAT?!!!!!

Nn

so on point

Hmmm, have nothing to say

Thank God he thinks.. Not sure. I thought he was not mentally normal before he joined his ancestor..

How can a sane man with his mental health intact be bundled and taken to a native doctor against his will?

If truly he was murdered, what did the police do about the murder suspects?

Most footballers at any point in time are richer than the masses, if anyone squanders his money that's his headache

True talk. God bless one of the living legends

True, I remembered sometimes in 1998, that very lovely day as a young boy I saw Rashidi Yekini just before the World Cup of that year, dashing people on the streets money just in front of the federal polytechnics Offa in his newly acquired brand new Mercedes Benz ML 1998 model, what a lovely memory. RIP King Yekini....Bismilahi Kulhuwa Allahu

Hey Odegbami,
Please let sleeping dogs lie.

Why should he keep quiet?


Abi are you among those who killed Yekini?

What is this 1 trying to prove again? Go and file a proper lawsuit and follow it.

shocking revelation... this should be investigated...I'm sure the family has finish sharing the money amongst themselves

Too bad for a legend to die like a pauper in a shit hole country.

Rashidi Yekini's case is a sad one. Especially his life after football.

He wasn’t murdered he was attacked by village people,he was too close to his root,something that caused him a lot of problem
You can’t be rich and continue to live in the village
Somebody that supposed to move to an estate or high class area immediately he got money but he refused to leave his local area,mingles with Old women every morning,dating all kind of low class paraga sellers and road side food sellers.You can’t live that way and last long if you are rich

He Nor hear say e set for South Africa and Nigerian for uptown Wetin he talk?

Well said, Mr Segun. Traditional religion killed him. Who knows how many people have also been ignorantly killed by Christianity and Islam?
