A young footballer, Daniel Peter, died on Wednesday during training with his Lagos-based club.

An eye witness disclosed that the towering central defender, who shot to the limelight with Pison Divine Royals FC of Surulere, suddenly slumped and gave up the ghost a few minutes into his club’s drills at Mile 2 High School.


The deceased, who recently got married to his long-term girlfriend, was said to have been in high spirits, vibrant and quite lively before the start of training on the fateful day, only for the excitement to get washed away when least expected.

Additional information about the incident revealed that Peter received immediate first aid attention when he fell after taking a goal kick, but all efforts to revive him were in vain.

His former team manager and mentor at Pison Divine Royals, Oscar Ezinwa Emmanuel, confirmed the tragedy.

“I was called late on Wednesday and I received the news with great shock,” said the man fondly called ‘TM.’

“They said he was training with a youth club in Amuwo Odofin area and fell without any contact from an opponent.

“I’m so sad, because he was once my player and he only recently got married. He was part of my team when we won Bishop Mike Okonkwo Cup in 2014.

“He was a very promising central defender, who was also very diligent on and off the field. May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.”

Very true.
Everyone should get a routine medical check up every 6months to 1 year, most especially top athletes.
I don't know why some people take pride in never visiting hospitals as if they're brothels.

You hear things like "For the past 5 years I've not been to a hospital." While that may be a sign of good health, it can also very well be a sign of a disease going on undetectable, until it's too late.

Report shows that individuals who make frequent visits to medical facilities have a higher mortality rate than those who do not
