Sunday Ndidi, the father of Super Eagles captain Wilfred Ndidi, passed away in a car accident on Tuesday.
Ndidi, a retired military commander, was reportedly involved in a car accident in Umunede, Delta State, late on Sunday. After being taken to a hospital in Agbor, Delta State, he was pronounced dead. Besiktas, Ndidi’s team, confirmed the sad event in a statement sent on Tuesday on their official X account.
We are deeply saddened to learn of the tragic passing of our footballer Wilfred Ndidi’s esteemed father, Sunday Ndidi, in a fatal traffic accident,” the club said.
“May Allah grant mercy to the deceased; we extend our condolences to our footballer Wilfred Ndidi, his family, and loved ones.”
“The celebration came from my dad because he was always talking about Kanu Nwankwo,” Ndidi told journalists in Morocco.
“So I just thought about my dad. I had seen the video before, but it came to my head, and I said I was going to do it for my dad.”
May his soul rest in perfect peace.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
