His Colleagues in Abuja, pleaded with Mallam Dikko to pay our son’s two years indemnity to help cushion his medical bills ,with no positive response,untill Mr.Oboh died on August 4,2022.”The statement reads.
“We were dumbfounded when we read that the NFF has planned to conduct their election in our state,after all the evil done to our son;this we will resist, untill all the entitlement of Mr.Oboh is fully given to his next of kin.”The statement concludes
