Former Nigerian International and record goal scorer for the Super Eagles, Rashidi Yekini has died in Ibadan. Rashidi Yekini scored 37 goals in 58 appearances for Nigeria He is reported to have been ill for a while. He was 48 years old. May His soul rest in peace
Meanwhile efforts to reach close relative to speak on his death has been abortive. More update shortly.
His contribution to Nigerian football would not be forgotten so soon. May his soul rest in peace!
Rasheed Yekini died in penury. The federal government and football administration couldn't assist or offer him a job in any field (sports or the likes), as compensation for his contribution to football in Nigeria. Now, Mr. President is mourning his death (lip service). What a shame!
RIP Nigeria great football hero
