He added that the 31-year-old footballer died at 6.30 p.m. on Friday.

The PPRO said that he was rushed to the Ever Care Hospital, Lekki, for treatment where he was confirmed dead by the doctor on duty.

Hundeyin said;

“Based on the report, a team of detectives visited the football scene and the hospital where the corpse was inspected and photographs were taken.

“The corpse has been deposited at a public morgue for autopsy. Meanwhile, an investigation is in progress.”

Hundeyin, however, advised members of the public, particularly sports persons, not to push their limits. He advised that when tired, they should take a rest.

Above all, do a regular medical check-up. Like we say on the street, ‘Life has no duplicate,’ he said.
