The Nigeria
Football Federation (NFF) family woke up on Wednesday with the sad news of the
sudden death of its Head of Protocol, Ibrahim Abubakar. Abubakar, 43, was
murdered by armed robbers in his home at Kado Estate near Gwarinpa in the
Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
“He was full
of life when he left the office yesterday (Tuesday). The Federation has lost a
dedicated and assiduous staff. This is so painful,” said a traumatised NFF
General Secretary, Dr Mohammed Sanusi yesterday.
‘Ibro’, as
he was fondly called, joined the Nigeria Football Federation in 2007. He will
be buried later on Wednesday at his residence in Kaduna, according to Islamic rites.
Abubakar is
survived by a wife and three children, Vanguard report.
