Warri Wolves player dies in auto crash

Warri Wolves have announced the loss of their player, Solomon Oboh who died Sunday night in an auto crash in Agbarho(  two kilometers to Warri), shortly after their NPFL Week 17 home win over 3SC.

Oboh who was born on September 13th 1989 previously played for Bisalo FC before joining Delta United in 2007. It was Delta that later metamorphosed into Warri Wolves.

Warri Wolves’ media officer Etu Moses who confirmed the death of the player said  the club was in deep shock to hear of the death of the defender barely few hours after their win over 3SC.

He appealed to the family of the deceased to take heart while also praying for the repose of player’s soul.

“We are still in deep shock over the death of Solomon. The news hit us in surprise. We never expected anything like that after our home win against 3SC.

“He was a good player and did his best for the progress of the club. He didn’t play against the Oluyole Warriors but he was part of our future programmes before this shocking news. We all know we shall die but dying this young is really an unfortunate incident.

“We pray that God should be with his father and friends he left behind and give them the fortitude to bear the loss. Warri Wolves are in mourning,” .
