Shooting Stars assistant coach, Akin Olowokere, tragically passed away on Monday morning after collapsing during a training session, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Olowokere, a former Sunshine Stars player and coach, was among the recently appointed members of 3SC’s technical crew. The incident occurred at the Dipo Dina Stadium in Ijebu Ode, where the team was preparing for Matchday 2 of their pre-season games.

He suddenly slumped while on the pitch, prompting immediate medical attention before being rushed to an undisclosed hospital, where he was confirmed dead.

Olowokere was appointed by the Oluyole Warriors following the club’s decision to part ways with the Gbenga Ogunbote-led coaching staff.
