[size=18pt]Uche is third Nigerian player to commit suicide[/size]

According to a statement by the USA police, former Super Eagles defender Uche Okafor committed suicide last weekend. This has brought to three the number of Nigerian footballers who have committed suicide since 1952.

The reason for the suicide is unknown.

Uche’s death came 13 years after that of former England international and Nigerian-born player Justin Fashanu, who was found hanging from the rafters of an East London garage. Like Uche, an inquest ruled that Fashanu killed himself.

ATB Ottun, one of the pioneer members of the Nigerian national team, the famed UK Tourists of 1949, also reportedly sank into depression in 1952, after returning from the United Kingdom. After being declared missing, his body was later found floating in a lagoon.

Uche’s death also follows the suicide of German goalkeeper Robert Enke. He committed suicide a few months ago because he could not get over the death of his two-year old daughter, Lara, who died of a heart defect.

Still inconclusive, so he's not the 3rd to commit suicide.

Did you see the report from the FBI? it says he was murdered, so who concluded your own report?

What fuxcking FBI report? You think this is Africa where theres no order or sequence to events and everything is all jumbled up together?

THE FBI IS NOT INVOLVED IN THIS CASE!!!

Even if it was, investigations would still be preliminary. . . . . results wont be made for another few months at the earliest!

Incidents like this happen all the the time! An African offs himself, but because the family is scared/ashamed of bearing a stigma back home, they concoct all sortsa conspiracy/false stories, from; "Oh, he was murdered then hung up there to make it look like suicide"; to "Oh, he didnt shoot himself. The gun was placed in his hands"; or the silliest: "The Police said he was murdered"! Even though the Police actually said he willingly, without coersion, chewed on his own gun!

Bottom-line: The verdict for now is that he comitted suicide; thats what the Cops and the Coroner say. Dont let lying folks keep blinding yall back in Africa!
