A former Secretary of Ogun State Football Association, Mr. Leo Oyenekan, is dead.
The Media Officer to the Ogun State FA, Wole Otayemi, stated this in a statement on Monday.
Oyenekan’s death came few days after former Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi and the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Technical Director, Shuaibu Amodu, passed away, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.
Oyenekan, who was the immediate past secretary of the association, died on Monday at the age of 57 years, after a brief illness.
The statement described the deceased as a diligent, hardworking and committed officer, who spent over 15 years with the association.
“The entire members of football family in Ogun are finding it difficult to believe the death of Oyenekan.
“Oyenekan’s death has left a huge vacuum behind which may be difficult to fill,’’ the statement added. (thenationonlineng)
