Ailing former Green Eagles goalkeeper is dead
A former goalkeeper of the Green Eagles, Peter Fregene, who has been ill for some time, is dead.
Another ex-international and the goalkeeper’s friend, Segun Odegbami, announced the death, which occurred on Sunday, in a statement.
Odegbami, who had last week solicited funds for the treatment of Fregene, said in a statement on Sunday: “A few minutes ago, Peter ‘Apo’ Fregene, OLY, former goalkeeper for Nigeria’s Green Eagles, who has been on life support for the past one week, passed on to meet his creator.
“On behalf of all generations of Nigerian footballers, Olympians, sports persons, his family, friends, fans, and a few incredible Nigerians that quietly rallied round and, with their support, prayers and the will of the creator of the Universe, kept him alive until this night, I say a big ‘thank you.’”
