Former Super Eagles attacker, Victor Ikpeba, has paid a condolence visit to the family of the late Peter Rufai.
The visit on Friday was an emotional one for the former Monaco attacker, who was out of the country when his former teammate passed on.
It was a heartwarming time for the mourning Rufai family, who had always known Ikpeba as a friend of the goalkeeper.
The 1997 African Footballer of the Year spoke after a heart-to-heart talk with the family, making a plea for friends and colleagues to rally around them in this pressing time.
He said: “In a time like this, a show of love and passion means a lot.
“Money is needed to do a lot of things, but we know that people who are mourning the head of the family, especially one who left this early, need the show of compassion more than anything.
“May I just use this opportunity to thank the ex-players in Lagos who have shown commitment to this family.
“I say God bless every one of them.
