“On behalf of the Sporting media especially from Abuja, I want to condole with our own and other members of his family for the loss of their loving mother.
“It’s a painful loss but we pray God to accept her soul even as he gives them the fortitude to bear the loss and mourn her peacefully. Every living being brought nothing to life and so we will leave nothing while departing.
