Former Super Eagles goal keeper
Peter Rufai has finally
regained consciousnesses after
he suddenly slumped and was
rushed to a Lagos hospital.
While doctors at the Toki
Hospital, where the ex-
international is being treated are
yet to discharge the 49-year-old,
Bruce Rufai, his brother, told
PREMIUM TIMES the goalkeeper
has regained consciousness but
yet to get back to his strides.
Bruce revealed that prayer
sessions were ongoing at the
bedside of Rufai while he also
called on other Nigerians and
fans alike to pray along.
“I cant say anything thing now
but Peter Rufai has regained his
consciousness but yet to be
discharged from hospital’
Bruce admitted that the
battle might not yet be over as
he called on Nigerians to keep
praying for the USA 94, France
98 goal keeper
“He is still receiving treatment
after finally gaining
consciousness, we dont know if
he will be strong enough to be
discharged today,” Bruce said.
According to Bruce,Rufai never
showed any sign of illness and
never had any previous history
of such before slumping Monday
night.
“He wasn’t ill before, he has
actually been busy in recent
times with one project or the
other. We were surprised when
he just collapsed and passed
out late Monday,” Bruce
explained.
He added “You know his mother
just passed on, and he is the
first son. For now, his mum has
not been buried, and the
emotional trauma, coupled with
all the activities he’s been
involved in, probably got to him.
“Right now, we just want
Nigerians to pray for him. He is
also one person we all look up
to, and we don’t want to lose
him too,” Bruce said.
As at the time of filing this
report, Rufai has not eaten any
food, Bruce said.
His daughter, he said, had gone
out to get something for him to
eat.
The rest of Rufai’s immediate
family are believed to be based
in Spain where the Super Eagles
shot stopper played most of his
profesional football.
