Udoji died on Sunday evening in a ghastly motor accident along club’s road, bompai, Kano, on his way back home after his visit to Enyimba FC players at their hotel.

The lanky defender displayed a man-of-the-match performance in the matchday9 of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) encounter between Kano Pillars and Enyimba FC at the Sani Abacha stadium, Kofamata, Kano on Sunday which ended 1-1.

The club’s technical adviser, Ibrahim Musa revealed Sportinglens.blogspot.com that the

players and officials are devastated with Udoji’s demise.

Musa informed that Udoji’s parent arrived in Kano from Kaduna yesterday evening to receive his corpse.  

The coach added that his colleagues are still in shock with the news. He said the players were addressed at the team’s training session on Tuesday morning.

“It was the will of God and we thank God for his life well spend. He was full of life during the game on Sunday and nobody would have pre-empt things like that. His parent arrived in Kano yesterday evening and his corpse was moved to Anambra State this morning,” Musa told Sportinglens.blogspot.com.

“Our players are down and we have to psyche them up in the training this morning to bring their mind back to the game. I can tell you that they are very scared and they can’t play in that situation. They have to accept it as the will of God and tell them to pray for his soul.”
