Pius Oleh Is Dead - (Ex-Super Eagle's Player) by Rockers4l: 4:37pm On Jul 22, 2013 |
Another former Super Eagles’ player, Pius Oleh has been confirmed dead in the United States of America. Daily Sunsports have reliably gathered. Former Junior International, Paul Okoku who confirmed Oleh’s death to Daily Sunsports hinted that the ex-football star was found dead in his garage and the unconfirmed cause of the death was linked to carbon monoxide. Okoku said: “Totty called me several times in the last three days to ascertain whether it was true or rumour about an ex-international death in Michigan. “I extended a call to my former Flying Eagles and St Finbarr’s College team mate, Alphonsus Akhahon, who resides in Michigan and a one-time close friend of the deceased. “Finally, Alphonsus confirmed to me that Pius Oleh was found dead in his garage and the unconfirmed cause of death was linked to carbon monoxide. Pius Oleh was one-time a Super Eagles’ player, a graduate of Alabama A&M University, held IT position with the US Ford Motor company in Detroit, Michigan until his death. During his lifetime, Oleh tried to bring soccer back to the Cotton Bowl, USA. At this time last year, the AmeriSoccer President, Pius Oleh was in the process of staging the Obama Challenge. Unfortunately, Oleh could not close the deal as it caused a major scandal between four federations, with the Nigerian Football Federation inclusive in the fiasco as the Super Eagles were stranded in Dallas. Meanwhie, the Association of Nigerian Ex-Internationals in the Diaspora, (ANED) commiserates with the Oleh’s family over the loss of their beloved son, saying Oleh was a comrade and a fraternity colleague. Oleh’s demise came as the second former Nigerian international that was found dead after the shocking death of USA ’94 World Cup star, Uche Okafor. Daily Sunsports |

Oh my GOD!!! No way!!! This guy was one of the nice naijas in Detroit. I can never forget my first day at Ford Motor Company he was one of the old Ford naijas that took me out to lunch. But the main thing he was known for was that he always brings in the ex-super eagles players to play in the Nigeria soccer tournament every year. Because of this guy a lot of young soccer guys like us get to play against the likes of ben iroha, Samson siasia, Monday agboentan etc and they always call themselves the (Team Michigan 1). Also He was one of the naijas that first approached Bill Ford back in the day that Ford Motor Company should try and enter naija market but Bill Ford declined. He is surely going to be missed by the Detroit soccer boys and igbo community. RIP (Ford Man) 3 Likes |
