Former Super Eagles goalkeeper , Peter Rufai last
night slumped in his office in Lagos, reports say.
According to reports, the retired goalkeeper was
rushed to Toki Hospital, off Adeniran Ogunsanya,
after he suddenly collapsed.
“I just got a call now from Bruce who is the
younger brother of soccer icon Peter Rufai ,” Mr.
Tijani, a journalist posted on his Facebook page.
He further quoted Bruce as saying, “Kayode, just
to let you know we have a situation on our
hands.your friend, my brother Peter Rufai
yesterday night just suddenly slumped at the
office.
“We rushed him to Toki Hospital off Adeniran
Ogunsanya where he is now. The doctors are
doing everything possible though he’s not really
come around yet and they don’t know yet what
the real cause of the slump is.
“He’s been taking the death of our 78-year-old
mum badly since last week. We are really praying
here for his health.”
49-year-old Peter Rufai played for Nigeria
between 1983 and 1998, and started a youth
sports development programme following his
return home from Europe. He had 65
international caps for the Eagles.
The ex-international’s mother, Christiana, died
last week, and that has left him devastated.
