”It is unexpected and shocking to us, the managers of grassroots football clubs in Enugu, and we are saddened.

”Though, it is a fact that all mortals must die but we never expected that he will leave us at this point in time.
”Only God knows why this happened at this moment we are struggling to come out of COVID-19 stress,” he said.
Akosa said that a personality like the deceased was hard to come by and that it would be difficult to fill the vacuum he left behind in Enugu football house and beyond.
