The Nigerian Super Eagles goalkeeper and Chippa United star, Stanley Nwabali announced the sad news on his Instagram story Friday morning with a heartfelt post accompanied by a tearful emoji, saying, “Rest in peace, dad.”
This devastating news comes on the heels of Nwabali’s heroic performance in Thursday night’s 1-1 draw against Benin Republic in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier in Abidjan.
Nwabali’s potential absence from the upcoming AFCON qualifier against Rwanda in Uyo is likely, as he takes time to grieve his father’s passing. The cause of death is still a mystery as details surrounding his demise(Nwabali’s father) was not disclosed in his post.
