Former Nigeria’s defender and official Taiwo Ogunjobi has died

LAGOS – A former Nigerian international soccer star and defender Taiwo Ogunjobi has died abruptly in Ibadan, south-western Nigeria.
At the age of 65, Ogunjobi death comes 35 years after he made his debut for Nigeria against Morocco in an Olympic qualifier in 1984.
