None of the relatives of the late Vitória Setúbal goal poacher was in attendance, except for his few friends, especially from the
Sabo (the Hausa community in Ibadan) and few of his colleagues at Shooting Stars.
“There is nothing commensurable with his contribution to the Nigerian football done in his honour by the expected quarters.
“I shouldered all theexpenses of what we did during his first anniversary, and that was the last time something meaningful was done in his remembrance.
“I have the intention of donating a trophy and branded jerseys for teams to play a friendly match in his honour, but my financial capacity cannot accommodate that now” said the confidant and lawyer to the late Super Eagles’ striker.
It would be recalled that Rashidi Yekini was abducted from his house according to eye witnesses account by some heavily turbaned clerics whocame in company of his siblings and died three weeks later, 4th May and was buried on 5th May 2012 at his home town Ira, Kwara State.
