The Director ABN TV, Mr Ifeanyi Okali has condoled with the family of late Sam Okwaraji on the death of their mother, Mrs Janet Okwaraji whose death was announced on Sunday.

Mrs Janet Okwaraji is the mother of late Super Eagles midfielder, Sam Okwaraji who collapsed and died of congestive heart failure in the 77th minute of a World Cup qualification match against Angola at the National Stadium in Surulere, Lagos on 12 August 1989 at the age of 25.

Mr Okali in a condolence message to the family on Sunday urged them to take solace in the fact that mama Janet produced an icon whose name will for a long period occupy a pride of place in Nigeria’s history.

He prayed God to grant the family the fortitude to bear the loss.

Okali had in 2018 during his birthday paid the late mama Janet Okwaraji a visit at her Enugu residence.
