According to the PPRO, he was taken urgently to Ever Care Hospital in Lekki for treatment, where the attending physician declared him dead.

According to the story, a team of detectives went to the hospital and the football field, where they examined the corpse and took pictures.

The body was placed in a public morgue for an autopsy. An investigation is ongoing in the meanwhile,” he stated.

Do a routine medical checkup beforehand. Life has no duplicate, as we like to say in the street,” he declared.

However, Hundeyin cautioned the general public—particularly athletes—not to overexert themselves. He suggested that they rest when they were worn out.
