Plateau United midfielder, Simon Shehu Sabole, has died after following his involvement in a ghastly car crash on Sunday.
Spokesman of the club, Albert Dakup, informed Plateau United that the sad news of the death of Sabole filtered in just after their 0-0 draw with four-time Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) champions, Kano Pillars.
He explained that Sabole was making the trip from the central Nigerian city of Jos to his hometown in Kaduna when the accident occurred.
"It is a very sad news to us at Plateau United because Shehu was one of our best players and played a very vital role in helping us gain promotion to the top division last season," Dakup, who struggled to utter his words, to said supersport.com.
"He was travelling to Kaduna so as to make arrangements for his wedding coming up next weekend. And then we got this sad news. This is really sad."
Sabole previously played for El-Kanemi Warriors and Niger Tornadoes.
