Ex-Super Eagles Striker Critically Sick

  Ex-Super Eagles Striker Critically Sick Admitted At Medical Centre A former Super Eagles striker, Barnabas Imenger, is critically sick and presently admitted at the Federal Medical Centre Makurdi where he is receiving treatment for an undisclosed ailment. Coach Peter Oche who raised the alarm in a chat with Daily Trust on Tuesday night said if help does not come immediately, Nigerians may be left to mourn another fallen hero. The former Gabros coach, therefore, called on well meaning Nigerians and football stakeholders to come to the aid of the Team Manager of Lobi Stars FC Makurdi. “I am sad to inform you that our friend and brother Barnabas Imenger is terribly sick. There is the urgent need for him to receive proper medical attention. “I have to make this known because only a few people are aware that he is down and in desperate need of help. “I, therefore, call on the Governor of Benue State, Dr. Samuel Ortom, the management of Lobi Stars football club, the NFF, present and past players of the Super Eagles and other football stakeholders to come to the aid of Barnabas before it is too late. “Going by his selfless services to Nigerian football, it won’t be a bad idea to fly him out of the country for better treatment, if it becomes necessary,” said the MD/CEO at Sisa Sporting Limited. Although he was asleep at the time our reporter called, Barnabas’ younger brother, Mac Terhemba Imenger confirmed that he (Barnabas) is seriously sick. “Yes Barns is in the hospital and going by his condition, he needs help. “He has improved a little but danger is still lurking so we would appreciate any support for him from any quarters. “Our brother served this country with dedication and commitment so it won’t be too much for him to be remembered in his hour of need,” he opined.
