The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has expressed shock and sadness over the death of Mr Sunday Ndidi, father of Wilfred Ndidi, captain of the senior men’s national football team, the Super Eagles.
NFF General Secretary, Dr Mohammed Sanusi, said: “This is very sad. The player just gave his very best to the nation at the Africa Cup of Nations finals in Morocco, where we finished with the bronze medals.
“He had returned to Turkey with great motivation and high hopes of helping his club to win silverware this season, and also helping the Super Eagles reach new heights this year.
“We are really shocked at the moment and cannot say much, but we earnestly pray for the repose of the soul of Mr Sunday Ndidi and pray that Almighty God will comfort our team captain, his siblings, relations and indeed all those he has left behind.”
