The Match Commissioner for Sunday’s Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) match between Kano Pillars and Ikorodu United, Tanko Nuhu, is dead.
Nuhu from Nasarawa State, who lived in Abuja with his family, was found dead in his hotel room yesterday.
Pillars spokesman, Idris Malikawa, confirmed the match official’s death.
“He was found dead in his hotel room this morning (Monday) when all efforts for him to open his room door proved abortive,” said Malikawa.
“It is really tragic because he was hale and hearty on Sunday night.”
Malikawa further disclosed that Dr. Sani Zakari of the Murtala Muhammad Hospital in Kano confirmed the death as natural. He also disclosed that drugs against hypertension were found in the late Nuhu’s room.
Host Pillars beat Ikorodu United 2-1 in a Nigeria league Week 15 clash on Sunday.
