Anxiety over Peter Rufai’s health after former goalkeeper slumps

Former Super Eagles goal keeper and captain, Peter Rufai, reportedly slumped last night inside his office.

Rufai, a former Nigerian International and football Icon, 49, was rushed to Toki Hospital off Adeniran Ogunsanya, Surulere, where sources say doctors are doing everything possible to stabilize him.

His younger brother Bruce Rufai said his health is yet to return to normal and doctors are trying to unravel why he collapsed.

Bruce who spoke to renowned sports journalist, Kayode Tijani, said Peter has been taking the death of their 78 year old mother badly, since her passing some days ago.

Rufai’s teammate and two-time African footballer of the year, Rashidi Yekini, died in may this year at the age of 48 after a prolonged illness.
