Many Players Injured As Kano Pillars Suffer Accident On Route To Match

Members of Kano Pillars FC U-19 team were involved in a road accident on Tuesday while heading to the New Jos Stadium for their Matchday 5 fixture against Plateau United U-19. The game was part of the inaugural U-19 Youth League.

The accident affected several players and the team’s driver, requiring immediate medical attention, according to the media team of Kano Pillars.

The team was on its way to the scheduled game when the accident occurred, disrupting the day’s sporting plans. Emergency services responded swiftly, and the injured were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

The media directorate of Kano Pillars reassured the public, stating, “Thankfully, no fatalities have been reported at this time, and the medical team is closely monitoring the situation.” They added, “We extend our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to everyone affected and will provide further updates as more information becomes available.”

The Kano Pillar accident comes just two months after a tragic incident involving the Heartland FC team, which was also in a road accident. That incident, which took place near Okigwe in Imo State, claimed the life of their head coach and former Super Eagles goalkeeper, Christian Obi, as they were en route to a preseason tournament in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State.
