Rangers Striker Ifeanyi George and two other unidentified persons have lost their lives in a ghastly motor accident. The 26-year-old former Enyimba player was travelling from Enugu to Lagos after the NPFL suspended the league because of the current coronavirus pandemic.

The player who had two unidentified teammates in the car ran into a heavy-duty truck along Benin-Ore road.

None of the players made it out of the ghastly accident alive. Ifeanyi George died on the spot, according to Rangers Manager, Amobi Azeaku who spoke to TheCable.

“It is a black Sunday in Nigerian football and sad to say the least,” The Cable quoted Amobi Azeaku as saying.

“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.
