NFF Mourns With Super Eagles Captain Wilfred Ndidi Over Father’s Death

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has expressed deep condolences to Super Eagles captain Wilfred Ndidi following the tragic death of his father, Sunday Ndidi, who died in a car accident in Delta State on Tuesday.

In an official statement issued the same day, NFF General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, described the incident as heartbreaking, noting that the midfielder had only recently given his all for the nation at the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, where Nigeria finished with bronze medals.

The statement reads “This is very sad. The player just gave his very best to the nation at the Africa Cup of Nations finals in Morocco, where we finished with the bronze medals.

“He had returned to Turkey with great motivation and high hopes of helping his club win silverware this season, and also help the Super Eagles reach new heights this year.

“We are really shocked at the moment and cannot say much, but we earnestly pray for the repose of the soul of Mr. Sunday Ndidi and pray that the Almighty God will comfort our team captain, his siblings, relations, and indeed all those he has left behind.”
