SRSport.com gathered from a source in Kwara State who revealed that life has been pretty difficult for the Yekini’s family since the death of the former African football king.

It was also gathered that Alhaja Sidikat cried out for help few months ago, after revealing that ‘life has been difficult for her’ since the passing of her son.

“My son has served this country, and I want the government and other people to come to our aid because It would not be good for me to die in this situation,” she pleaded.

Yekini scored 37 goals in 58 appearances for the Super Eagles and died in May 2012 at the age of 48. He remains the highest goal scorer for the Super Eagles with 37 goals and represented Nigeria in five major tournaments, including two FIFA World Cup competitions in USA ‘94 and France ‘98 respectively.

    Nigeria is more AbomiNation than Nation,where Rogues are celebrated and the righteous condemned. #SickeningSatanicSociety

  10. He represented his Nation, he gained fame and fortune during his time on earth, why are we crying for the govt to render help to his Mom? Whatever happens to all the wealth he acquired while he was alive? What provisions did he make for his parent? And is it the responsibilities of the govt, to rescue family members of former sport figure?
