The death of former Super Eagles goalkeeper, Peter Rufai, has stirred controversies and heavy criticism against the government. Former teammate, Taribo West, accused the federal government of neglecting football legends who sacrificed their careers for the nation.
Rufai’s brother, Sunny Rufai, speaking on behalf of the family, echoed the sentiment, lamenting that his late brother received no help despite his service to Nigerian football.
Many have since raised concerns about how the country treats its sporting heroes after their glory days.
