Bello Musa Kofarmata, a Nigerian footballer and former Kano Pillars forward is dead.
Kofarmata, who started his football career in 2007 with Buffalo F.C of Kano will be buried later today (Wednesday) in his family house in Kano State.
The burial would be following Islamic rites. But the cause of his death was still unknown as of press time.
However, he joined Kano Pillars in 2007, and in 2010, he moved to Heartland FC of Owerri and returned to Kano Pillars in 2012, and later crossed over to Elkanemi Warriors of Maiduguri.
Kofarmata sealed a deal with IK Start of Norway, following a spate of trials with the team. With Kano Pillars, he won the Nigerian Premier League for 2007-08 and was with 11 goals the top goalscorer.
In August 2008, Kofarmata was on a trial at Austria’s LASK and played one friendly game. The forward returned from Europe to Pillars at the start of the 2008 season. He joined Heartland in January 2010 for a fee of N5 million. After two and half years, he left Heartland and signed with his lifelong club, Kano Pillars.
