Former twenty-seven years
old Heartland and Kano Pillars Abdul Haruna collapsed and died on the pitch
during a football match.
The incident occurred when
the Abdul was playing for Kano Professionals against a selected amateur team in
Kano during a friendly game.
Reacting after the
incident, Kano Pillars media manager Idris Malikwa announced that the entire
football community in Kano are in shock over his death.
Malikawa said: “Abdul
Haruna died Sunday while playing in a friendly match between Kano Professionals
and a selected amateur team in Kano. He was moving with the ball when he
slumped and died on the pitch.
“He fell down unchallenged
and was immediately rushed to the nearby hospital before he was confirmed dead
by the doctor on duty.
“This is a huge shock to
the entire football family in Kano, we never expected this.
“He will be buried on
Monday according to Islamic rites in Kano.”

his wife whom he married in 2012. The union is blessed with a baby boy.
He had a stint with a club
in Vietnam, Song Lam Nghe, and had come back to Kano to enjoy Christmas with
his friends and family members before the unfortunate incident.
The cause of his death was
yet to be determined at the time of filing this report.
