The funeral rites for the legendary footballer and manager was
earlier held during a requiem mass at St. Paul Anglican Church in Benin
City, the Edo State capital.
Reverend Father Richard Ofere, during his sermon said that death is
not the end of life for a good Christian rather it is a passage to
eternal glory.
Yesterday there was a lying-in-state ceremony which was followed by
a novelty match involving football veterans at the Samuel Ogbemudia
Stadium, witnessed by family, friends and the public.
May his soul rest in peace!
