A 34-year-old footballer, Sodiq Adebisi, tragically passed away on Saturday after collapsing during a training session at the Dipo Dina International Stadium, Ijebu-Ode, in the Ijebu Ode local government area of Ogun State.
The player was engaged in a training session with other football players on Saturday when the incident occurred.
When his teammates witnessed Sodiq collapsing to the ground, they promptly transported him to a state hospital in Ijebu-Ode. However, he was pronounced dead on the same day he was admitted.

"The brother came to report the incident at our Igbeba division. The family said they don't want any investigation and that they wanted to bury the deceased according to Islamic rite," Odutola stated.
