Hundeyin said officers from Maroko police division brought in the information on Friday, adding that the 31-year-old relatively unknown footballer died at about 6.30 p.m.

“Based on the report, a team of detectives visited the football scene and the hospital where the corpse was inspected and photographs taken.
“The corpse has been deposited at a public morgue for autopsy. Meanwhile, investigation is in progress,” he said.
Hundeyin, however, advised members of the public, particularly sports persons, not to push their limits.
He urged them to take a rest when tired, adding: “Above all, do regular medical check-up. Like we say on the street, life has no duplicate.”
