Ex-Nigeria international Kadiri, Dies After Falling From New York Apartment

Former Flying Eagles player Musa Nosa Kadiri is dead.

The ex-Nigerian international died last Friday after going into a coma caused by internal bleeding after a hard fall at his New York apartment. He was 53.

“I’m surprised. We were going over some business he wanted to be done, and he looked fine.

“He had lost a bit of weight due to being hospitalised two weeks earlier. But he was his usual self, talking politics and plans. So, a day or two later, he was unresponsive and on life support. It’s hard to believe.” a  source told Sahara Reporters.

His funeral service is scheduled to hold on Thursday, July 30, at 491 Dekalb Ave, Brooklyn, NY.

Just like other players, the late Kadiri who played for the Nigerian junior national team grew up playing soccer on the streets of Benin City in Edo state.  He also went to play soccer professionally in Europe before going into coaching.
