Two Refs Slump, Die During Cooper Test by honeric01(m): 2:24pm On Sep 24, 2010
Two Nigerian referees slumped and died in Abuja on Wednesday during the Nigerian Referees Association's fitness testing programme.

NFF Acting General Secretary Musa Amadu gave the names of the late referees as Oyetola Olatunde, a national league referee from Oyo State and Faloye Matthew Bankole, a Premier League referee from Ogun State.

NFF Media Officer Robinson Okosun confirmed the deaths to KickOffNigeria.com.

"We have just heard the news now, and we are still trying to find out details of what happened."

Sources informed KickOffNigeria.com that both men had failed the last test which took place three months ago, but had their names included again.

This is really sad. But I understand the two of them had failed the test before and that it was only a makeshift attempt to get them in that caused this problem.

the moral of the story is to never cut corners.
These guys failed the previous test and so they were supposed to sit out this season but they used 'mago mago' to make the test again and the rest is history now. . . . Cooper test no be joke
