On Wednesday, 4 May, the Nigerian Football Federation chairman mourned Super Eagles great Rashidi Yekini, who died 10 years ago after a long battle for survival.
Rashidi Yekini’s death on May 4, 2012, came as a major shock and sorrow to football fans in Nigeria and throughout the world.
The exact cause of Rashidi Yekini’s terrible death is unclear at this time, despite accusations that his family members brought him to an undisclosed location for treatment.
The football legend died, leaving behind two daughters. He was 48.
Rashidi Yekini’s mother told newsmen a few months ago that her late son was unwell, forcing them to seek herbal treatment.
According to information provided by the NFF media team, Amaju Pinnick, the head, stated that Rashidi Yekini will be missed forever.
”Rashidi Yekini was a goal getter, dedicated player, a patriotic soldier and he showed that whenever he donned the colours of Nigeria,” Amaju Pinnick stated.
