Rangers FC striker, Ifeanyi George met with a tragic end after being involved in a fatal car crash on Sunday morning.
The 26-year-old former Enyimba star was on a trip from Enugu to Lagos with two unnamed teammates when they collided with a heavy-duty truck along Benin-Ore road, resulting in a fatal outcome for all of them.
It was disclosed that the trio had embarked on the journey after being granted a break by their club, following the postponement of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) 2019/20 season due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Rangers team manager, Amobi Ezeaku, confirmed the tragic news to TheCable, expressing: “It is a black Sunday in Nigerian football and sad to say the least.”
“Yes, its true that Ifeanyi George died on the spot but will confirm others to you as I am on my way to the scene of the accident,” he said.
May their souls rest in peace, Amen!
