Clad in black, the family gathered three months after his death to attend the burial ceremony.
Despite representing his country at all youth level, he was buried in a low-key ceremony with a no-show from top Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) officials.
“We sent out the programme in December, but there was no representative from the football community,” a family member told us this,
“Imagine a former captain of Nigeria and there was no NFF representatives among the audience, and not even a former teammate “
