Tributes, tears at Keshi’s burial

Tears flowed freely on Friday as the remains of former Super Eagles head coach, Stephen Keshi, was laid to rest in his family home in Illah community, Delta.

Keshi who hailed from Illah in Oshimili North Local Government of Delta, died last June in Benin City, the capital of Edo.




The body of the ex-Captain of the national football team was interred at about 2.20pm amid tears, wailing and lamentation by family members, colleagues and friends.
The burial was preceded by a funeral Mass conducted at the St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, Illah.
The burial was attended by a galaxy of former ex-internationals, majority of who were Keshi’s former teammates who played between 1990 and 1994.
Among them were Peter Rufai, Mutiu Adepoju, Henry Nwosu, Friday Ekpo, Uche Okechukwu, Victor Ikpeba, Alloy Agu, Edema Fuludu and Taribo West.
