The
Management of Mighty Jets FC of Jos has announced the demise of the club's
defensive Midfielder, John George, who passed on this afternoon in Kaduna after
a brief illness.
In a
Statement released by the club through its Media Officer Mbum Ferdinand, George
was described as a hardworking and committed professional who was always
respectful to Officials and Colleagues alike.
Until his
death, he was on loan at Nigeria Professional Football League side, Lobi Stars
FC of Makurdi and was a regular member of the first team.
His last
game was a 2-2 home draw between Lobi Stars and Kano Pillars last month and he
had obtained permission from the Club to return to Kaduna to treat a recurring
bout of malaria, a trip he never returned from.
Before
joining Mighty Jets he had played for Plateau United FC also of Jos.
Mighty Jets
would discuss with Lobi Stars and the player's family on the plans and
arrangements as regards his burial.
The entire
Management pray his family would have the fortitude to bear the loss and also
pray for the repose of his soul.
