“Rest on coach Shuaibu Amodu. We lost this great man barely three days after coach [Stephen] Keshi. This was very tough to take; I was devastated because he was more than just a coach to me”

“Coach Amodu was a father-figure; he was my go-to anytime I was in doubt and needed clarity or support. You’re greatly missed Coachee, continue to rest in peace.” Yobo wrote on Instagram.
