The
goalkeeper of Giwa FC Timothy Chichi Okere has died after a prolonged
battle with a spinal cord injury. He died yesterday May 4th in Jos, and
it's sad times for the football club and the League Management company
as Timothy has been an important member of the squad and played a
major role towards helping the team to gain promotion to the Nigeria
Professional Football League three years ago before losing his spot to
Flying Eagles goaltender Ojo Olorunleke at the commencement of the
team’ s season in the NPFL.
He sustained the spinal cord injury two years ago
and was admitted into Bida hospital. He was later discharged but later
admitted after he relapsed.
The Media Officer of
the team, David King, has confirmed the unfortunate incident this
morning and said the club was awaiting communication from the player’s
family on the burial arrangements.
May his soul RIP.
May his soul RIP.
