US Based Stephen Keshi’s Son n Daughter Arrive Benin

Keshi’s Jnr, an events producer in Atlanta said his sister, Ifeyinwa and her husband had also arrived Nigeria from their base in North Carolina on Tuesday.

Ifeyinwa and Stephen Keshi Jnr are currently in Benin to see their late father.

The twenty-seven-year-old Stephen Keshi Junior arrived Nigeria on Tuesday night from his base in Atlanta in the company of his friend, US-based chemist Victor Ugoh and newly married sister.

This is what Stephen Keshi Jnr said at NFF Headquarter in Abuja yesterday:

“I just came into Nigeria on Tuesday night, and we read in the papers today that somebody had fixed a date for the burial. I am shocked like my sisters and my brothers. Since our father died, nobody has spoken to us about how he died, and we have not even seen his corpse.

Keshi Jnr, expressed appreciation to the Federal Government, the National Assembly, the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports, the Nigeria Football Federation, the governments of Edo and Delta States, ex –internationals and countless corporate bodies and individuals for all the kind words showered on his father since he passed on. 

“I cannot thank everyone enough. We have only heard good and great words about our father since his death. I am going to Benin City now. The family will sit down and come up with a date for the funeral, but we also appreciate that he was a national figure and will harmonize our plans with that of the Government and the NFF. “Our father was a loving family man and we will miss him greatly. Our joy is that he left a worthy legacy for Nigeria football and for his family.”
