Date: 2013-10-05

Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) club, Kwara United have expressed deep shock over the sudden demise of their former skipper, Sanni Abacha.

The former Super Eagles player died in Ilorin on Thursday at the age of 35.

Kwara United manager, Agboola Basambo revealed to supersport.com on Thursday that Abacha was a committed player who took his job seriously while playing for the Afonja Warriors. Basambo however, described his death as a great loss to Nigeria stressing that Abacha died when the country needed his services.

"I want to commiserate with all the people Abacha left behind and I pray that God will give them the fortitude to bear the loss," Agboola said.

Meanwhile, source close to the family said that Abacha was hale and hearty as at the close of ABS match against Nasarawa United on Wednesday which the deceased watched from the stands.

Abacha was said to have slumped later in the night and was rushed to an undisclosed hospital in Ilorin where he was confirmed dead.

Sanni Abacha played for 3SC between 1996 and 1997 League season before he moved to Kwara Utd in 1998 and left the Afonja Warriors in 2000 where he joined Enyimba international in 2001.

He joined Sharks of Port Harcourt in 2002 and re-joined Kwara Utd where he finally retired from football and he has since been living in Ilorin, the Kwara capital.
