FEW hours after beating visiting 3SC of Ibadan 2-0 in their Week 17 League game at the Warri City Stadium on Sunday, players and officials of Warri Wolves were thrown into mourning following the death of their defender, Solomon Oboh.

The player, who was at the stadium to cheer the team to victory, died a few hours later in an auto crash in Agbarho (two kilometers from Warri).

Obohm previously played for Bisalo FC before joining Delta United in 2007. It was Delta United that later metamorphosed into Warri Wolves.

The Club Media Officer, Etu Moses, said the management was in deep shock, adding, “the news took us by surprise. He was a good player and did his best for the progress of the club.

“He didn’t play against 3SC, but he was part of our future programmes before this sad news. We pray that God would be with his father and friends he left behind and give them the fortitude to bear the loss. Warri Wolves are in mourning mood,” Etu stated.
