“My tears run endless ever since the news broke to me early hours of this morning (Tuesday). We shared so many times and moments together, pained and heart-broken I am, but what is the answer to the question I ask and want to ask ‘why you, why now’? Who do I question man or the good Lord?

“Pained as I am all glory to God for the times we shared together.

“Adieu my friend, good bye great player.

“Atom ant, midfield maestro, small but mighty, entertainer extra ordinary, Oworowo, Agbakpan, sinkpukpuru etc. JOHN ENE OKON.” Amapakabor wrote on his Facebook page.
