Rumours Surrounding Keshi’s Death: Family Member Finally Breaks Silence

Following the death of former Super eagles coach, Stephen Keshi, a family member has come out to speak about rumours surrounding his death.

Rickey Aburime, a member of the late Stephen Keshi’s family, dismissed media reports that Keshi died of heart attack and warned the public against speculation about the cause of the death.

Aburime disclosed that Keshi was meeting some friends and family members at his resident in Benin City, when suddenly he fell sick.

“All of a sudden, they noticed his countenance changed and he was not okay. The person with him called Ebuka and they rushed him to the hospital. He was dead by the time they got to the hospital. A nurse that checked him said there was no pulse. Doctors later confirmed him dead.

“After the confirmation, as he was not a patient of the hospital, they could not write any report or present any death certificate. They said we must bring the police report and the police came to inspect the body. I am about to take the corpse to Stella Obasanjo Hospital pending the autopsy which the family want to do. Dr. Wilson Akhiwu will conduct the autopsy.”

“There is no official statement as to the cause of death. There will be no embalming. It was sudden and we don’t want anybody to speculate. There was no sign of ill health and Keshi has not complained of any recently,” he said.
