Lobi Stars Striker, Sarki Audu, Dies in Car Crash
An official of the club, Ganiyu Adeleke, announced the unfortunate news, revealing the striker was travelling with his wife and daughter in his car to Bauchi from his home town in Yobe when the accident occurred.
He said: “We received the unfortunate news this morning of the death of Seriki Audu. He was driving from Yobe State, his base, with his family, wife and daughter. But he died from the accident while his wife is at present at the intensive care unit of a hospital where she was taken to and the daughter suffered a fracture.
“It is a very sad news at this time for Lobi Stars because Seriki was one of our top strikers, and had a life full of promise in the future ahead of him.”
Audu scored one league goal for the club in last season’s Nigeria Professional Football League in Lobi’s 2-0 win against Bayelsa United.
