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.
According
to AllNigeriaSoccer, 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 Rest in Peace, Amen!!
