Chairman, Edo State Football Association (EFA), Frank Ilaboya, confirmed on Wednesday that the remains of former Super Eagle’s coach, Stephen Keshi, had been deposited in a mortuary in Benin.
The privately-owned mortuary, Faith Mediplex is located on the Benin Airport road in the Edo capital.
Ilaboya, quotes Keshi’s faimily member, Ricky Aburimen, as saying the Eagle’s former coach as having only complained of a leg ailment while holidaying at his Aiprport road home in Benin before he passed away.
He said that Keshi had died on the way to the hospital at about 3 am.
