Former Super defender Yisa Sofoluwe died yesterday (Tuesday) evening at the Intensive Care Unit of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital.
News broke out concerning Sofoluwe’s ill-health on Friday, after the Maroc ’88 Africa Cup of Nations star was diagnosed with mild cerebral atrophy, a brain disease.
According to healthgrades.com, cerebral atrophy is the progressive loss of brain cells over time and can lead to decreased brain mass and loss of neurological function.
Ex-international Waidi Akanni, a close friend of Sofoluwe, told Newsmen, “Sofoluwe is gone. We lost him this evening. May God rest his soul. We will go there (LUTH) tomorrow (Wednesday) to get his remains.”
Dosu Joseph, an ex-Eagles goalkeeper and Atlanta 1996 Olympics gold medallist, also confirmed Sofoluwe’s death to Newsmen in a WhatsApp message.
“Thanks for your support, we lost him, another icon is gone. To God be the glory.”
Sofoluwe was earlier admitted at the Prince and Life Medical Hospital, Ikorodu, Lagos, before he was rushed to LUTH on Friday, after his medical condition became worse.
