It’s exactly one year today since Chineme Martins died in active service for Nasarawa United Football Club.
The 23-year-old defender collapsed and died in a matchday 23 league action for Nasarawa United against Katsina United at the Lafia City Stadium on 8th March 2020.
The memory of the young but promising defender still lingers in our hearts as the entire Management, Staff, Coaching Crew, Players, and Supporters of the Lafia- based Club continue to remember his unparalleled and patriotic contributions to the club.
Our thoughts and prayers are always with the late player and those he left behind, even as we will continue to do our best to achieve what he lived and died for.
As a mark of honor, Management of the Solid Miners announced the official resting of the jersey number twenty (20) last worn by the player.
May his gentle soul continue to rest in peace with the Lord. Amen!
