The Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN), Lagos Chapter, has commiserated with ace sports broadcaster Godwin Enakhena over the demise of his mother, Madam Beatrice Enakhena.
Speaking Thursday on the demise of Madam Enakhena, the Lagos SWAN Chairman, Mr. Debo Oshundun, urged the sports journalist and the entire family to remain strong at this trying time.
“Our thought is with the family at this time because Mama had made her mark and her life is worthy of emulation.
“So, we urge the family to try and uphold her legacies. Our prayer however is for Almighty God to grant her eternal rest,” Oshundun prayed.
While extolling the virtues of his late mum, Godwin Enakhena said: “I was a rascal and broke my legs many times playing football but she was always there for me.
“I was with her in Benin City on Saturday after the burial of my brother. I’ll miss her.”
Madam Enakhena died in the early hours of Wednesday in Benin City after a brief illness.
She was in her 80s and hailed from Agenebode, Etsako East LGA of Edo State.
Burial arrangements will be announced by the family.

Victor Osimhen appreciates his decision to join Galatasaray on loan from Napoli, adding that he didn’t want anyone to decide his future. The Nigeria striker made this assertion while reflecting on his protracted summer transfer saga that saw Napoli desperately sell him off to Al-Ahli and Chelsea in the embers of the window, with the latter his long-term choice destination offering peanuts for his signature. The 25-year-old said that he was prepared to remain at Napoli for another three or four months and secure a move to one of his suitors in January, reiterating the relief ushered by the Galatasaray offer. “I had plans to stay there and wait for three or four months and leave in January, but I think for me it was fair also to stay there because I wouldn’t let anyone decide for me,” Osimhen told Turkish media, including TRT Spor, from the Galatasaray training centre.
