A young man identified as Yakubu has slumped and d!ed while playing football in Minna, Niger State.

The tragic incident happened during a pre-wedding football match held at the football field of UBE Primary School, located in New Market, Minna on Wednesday, February 12, 2025.

A local journalist, Lanre Sadiq, said the young man suddenly collapsed on the field in the middle of the match.

He recounted that he was immediately rushed to the hospital after those on the field tried fruitlessly to resuscitate him.

However, at the hospital, he was reportedly declared de@d on arrival.

“This marks the third such tragic incident at the New Market football field. It will be recalled that in the middle of last year, another young man named ABK also collapsed and passed away while playing football at the same location,” Mr Sadiq wrote.

“If Allah wills, the funeral prayer for the late Yakubu will take place this morning at 9:00 AM in the Sayako of the New-market area of Minna.

“May Almighty Allah accept his forgiveness and comfort his family and friends.”
