How Thompson Oliha died at Ilorin was yesterday revealed by his wife through David Aigboivo the operational Director, Association of professional footballers.
Aigboivo said Thompson's wife called around 3.57am that her husband woke up to make use of the rest room when suddenly her husband screamed, and she rushed in only to discover that he was down and there was no life in him any more.
Also, for fear of what may happen to the aged parents of late Thompson Oliha, if they get the news of the death of their son, Mr. and Mrs. Oliha that are both aged between 70 to 90 years were yesterday moved from Thompson's house to another family home.
When the mother asked why they were being relocated, Thompson's eldest brother said Thompson planned to finish the renovation work in the house hence the need for relocation.
The four flats building owned by Thompson was gutted by fire three years ago is gradually been renovated by Thompson before he died on Sunday.
Family members who was in a close door meeting when our reporter visited Thompson's home refused to discuss anything with journalists but promised that when they returned from illorin, the media will be briefed appropriately.
Some of his close friends who do not want their names in print told newsmen that Thompson's problems was compounded from his excessive drinking and smoking without eating.
“You see my brother, family problems can also compound things for you. All this contributed to Thompson wahala after his active days.
“When we play football match for Oshiomhole last year and another one in Warri, we did not allow him to play because of the condition. We don’t want somebody to die on the pitch. So, my brother, I was not surprised when I heard that it was heart failure. May his soul rest in peace”.
