He died before the match. He died as a result of protracted illness according to the source. He died at LASUTH. Very intelligent guy . Good orator and sport analyst in his days. May his soul rest in peace. Buried today according to the report.

Kayode Tijani was Nigeria's foremost football historian. The man was a walking encyclopedia, like you said. He would recount with amazing detail even the most random events in Nigerian football history. Nothing ever got past him. This is a great loss to Nigerian sports journalism. May his soul rest in peace.

Mike Mayaki and him were the ones that made me fall in love with the analytical side of football, with their expert dissection of football news and stories. I hope Uncle Mike is well and kicking wherever he is.

RIP to Kayode, I remember in an impromptu interview he wanted to conduct with the late Stephen Keshi in the 90s, Keshi told him in Yoruba to get the microphone off his face "Kayode, gbé kini yí kúrò níwájú mi). He was one of those sports journalists that made sure we know what's going on when Super Eagles used to camp at Papendal in Holland before any major tournament

Inna lillahi wa Inna illeahi rajiun.

An iroko tree has fallen in the sports journalism industry. I remember him from the show he used to host on AIT called sports library and he also used to be one of the studio analysts whenever there's a cup competition going on. He had an column on complete sports too. May Allah forgive him of his shortcomings and rest his soul.

Harry Sports too Harry died some years ago too
