Former Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa has called on the Nigeria Football Federation to help unravel the circumstances that led to the death of Nigerian football player Abubakar Lawal in Kampala, Uganda.
The cause of Lawal’s death remains sketchy as some reports said he fell from the third floor of a shopping mall in Kampala, while some others claimed he died in motorbike accident. But what has been established so far is that Lawal might have been murdered, and the Uganda police are currently trying to solve the mystery.
Weighing in on the matter Ahmed Musa wrote on his Facebook page: “It is saddened to receive the news of Abubakar Lawal. The news was a shocking one which prompted me to ask further questions and clarification.
“However, we discovered contrary information about his demise; The first one claimed it was an accident, and the second report claimed he fell from a balcony.
“The contradicting reports suggest something suspicious about his demise and I have been in contact with the Nigerian authority and the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) calling their attention to this fatal case in Uganda.
“I am appealing to the Nigerian Government and the NFF to investigate the incident and work with the Ugandan government to get justice for Lawal. Lawal’s soul deserves a thorough investigation, and justice must be served if anyone is found guilty.”
