Nigeria League player Obiekwu slumps, dies in Enugu

Former Enugu Rangers right full back, Henry Obiekwu, is dead, according to a message from his elder brother Kingsley Obiekwu.
The older Obiekwu who is known as ‘Shagari’ during his playing days said his brother Henry died during a friendly match at the UNEC Stadium in Enugu.
He was playing for his youth team Samba FC when he complained of severe chest pain before dropping to the ground unchallenged moments later.
Henry was rushed to the hospital in Enugu before he was confirmed dead at the Eastern Nigeria Medical Centre on Tuesday afternoon.
The last team he represented in the Nigeria local scene was FC Taraba but he gained national recognition during his time with current Nigeria League Champions, Enugu Rangers.
