A touching photo has revealed that life has been pretty difficult for the Yekini family since the death of the former African football star.

According to a source who disclosed exclusively to SaharaReporters, Alhaja Sidikat, the mother of late legendary Super Eagles player, Rashidi Yekini, is going through extremely hard times in Kwara State since the death of the former African football king.

It was also gathered that Alhaja Sidikatu cried out for help few months ago, after revealing that life has been difficult for her since the passing away of her son.

“My son has served this country, and I want the government and other people to come to our aid because It would not be good for me to die in this situation,” she pleaded.

The legendary football star scored 37 goals in 58 appearances for the Super Eagles and died in May 2012 at the age of 48. He remains the highest goal scorer for the Super Eagles with 37 goals and represented Nigeria in five major tournaments, including two FIFA World Cup competitions in USA ‘94 and France ‘98 respectively.
