Former Super Eagles Striker Rashidi Yekini Dies at 48

One of the greatest players Nigeria ever had, Rashidi Yekini, is dead. The two-time African Footballer of the Year died this evening in Kwara after a prolonged illness. He was just 48 years old. Yekini was Nigeria's national team highest/record goal scorer, scoring 37 goals in 58 appearances.

He's survived by two children. So so sad. May his soul rest in peace, amen.
