Why I think Rashidi Yekini was murdered – Segun Odegbami

 Football icon, Olusegun Odegbami, says he accepts his colleague, Rashidi Yekini, was killed in 2012.

Before his demise, Yekini was reported to have been ill for an extended period of time after supposedly experiencing bipolar issue, depression and some other undisclosed mental condition.
In any case, Odegbami in an interview with The Chat couldn’t help contradicting the cases, saying: “nobody could explain the circumstances of his death”.
“His people actually went and abducted him from his car and took him to a native doctor of some sort to cure him of his ‘insanity’, he explained.

 

“Why insanity?…because he was funding so many philanthropic projects, giving people his money which he had kept in the bank for so long.

“All through his professional career, he didn’t spend a dime of the money he was getting from Europe, so he had a lot of money in UBA at the time, because one of the managers was my friend.

“They had even advised him to invest but with his own native intelligence, he did not do much investment.

“He built his house, did some things but he had a lot of money so he felt like distributing and they said he was mad so they took him to the native doctor and started giving him all kinds of concoctions and the man passed on. So, that’s why I said he could have been murdered”.

“You’ll see me walk with a limp these days… that’s what happens to the rest of us,” the 67-year-old former footballer said.
“Probably we would have demanded (not for any payment of some sort) but to have created a system or an institution that will take care of us in old age which is something we have found out now”, he added.  Gossip - Who Which What Where When How #jaiyeorie 📎 ...
