Golden Eaglet, Njengo, dies

A member of the Golden Eaglets, Friday Njengo, has died after failing to recover from injuries sustained in an accident.
Njengo, who was a regular player in the team during their qualifiers for the 2013 CAN U-17 Championship, had been in intensive care at the National Hospital, Abuja for more than nine months before he passed on Sunday.
The defender was involved in an accident on February 3 alongside teammate Adamu Abubakar while traveling from Jalingo to Calabar for the team’s final camping ahead of the African Championship.
While Njengo sustained a head injury in the accident, goalkeeper Abubakar was luckier and was discharged after a few days.
The Nigeria Football Federation had moved Njengo from the Federal Medical Centre, Jalingo to the National Hospital, Abuja two days after the crash.
At the National Hospital, an operation was performed on the player and he was thought to be recovering, though still suffering from memory lapse, until his death on Sunday night
 
sad!
