''His death is shocking, feel deeply sad. I don't know how the family would feel about this painful loss. I have been communicating with him since then and even called him three days ago. And when we spoke, he never told me he had health problems. We were even joking and laughing on the phone,'' Okere Charles, who played for LKS Spójnia Osiek-Zimnodóa last season, told allnigeriasoccer.com in a telephone conversation on Sunday morning.
