ILORIN- There was pandemonium at the main bowl of the Kwara state stadium, Monday when a retired Grade One referee, Ishaku Musa Dodo slumped and died while jogging.
Late Dodo, former member of Kaduna State Referees Council was posted to Kwara State for his National Youth Service, and resumed in his new station, Kwara United FC, earlier that same day.
Late Dodo, 44, listed as a Grade One referee in 1999, was confirmed dead after thorough examination at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH), where he was rushed to after he slumped during the second lap of the exercise.
Vanguard reliably gathered that his sudden death might not be unconnected with heart failure, even though he was said to have undergone Electro Cardiogramme (ECG) test three months earlier.
His remains was deposited at the UITH mortuary.
