The Head Coach of Remo Stars Football Club, Daniel Ogunmodede has said the club is going to miss the professionalism of its assistant captain Tiyamiyu who lost his life in controversial circumstances last Saturday.
Kazeem, aka Kaka, was allegedly killed by an operative of the Special Anti – Robbery Squad (SARS) along the Abeokuta-Sagamu Expressway after he was arrested on suspicion of being an internet fraudster ( Yahoo boy).
The Police Command in the state claimed that the deceased attempted to escape after arrest and was knocked down by an oncoming vehicle, but the player’s teammate, Sanni Abubakar, who was with him at the time of arrest, alleged that he was pushed out of the car and got knocked down by a passing vehicle.
Speaking with Daily Trust yesterday, Ogunmodede described Kazeem’s killing as callous and ruthless.
He said the team was battling to recover from the unfortunate incident, adding that the Remo Stars would miss the slain footballer’s professionalism and dedication.
“It was a callous act of the part of the man who claimed to be an officer. He cut short life of an uprising, talented player who was our assistant Captain.
“It’s disheartening to us. We are presenting battling to come to terms with what has happened.
“We will miss his professionalism, dedication and discipline,” he said.
