The match, which took place on Thursday night in Abidjan, saw Nwabali showcasing his skills as he led his team with determination.

However, this personal tragedy might affect his participation in Nigeria’s next AFCON qualifier against Rwanda, scheduled to hold in Uyo.

The Super Eagles’ technical crew is yet to announce any decision regarding Nwabali’s availability for the upcoming match.

However, it is likely he will take time off to mourn and be with his family during this difficult period.

The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) is also expected to release a statement expressing their support for him.
