Ibrahim Babangida, former player of Stationery Stores and younger brother to former Super Eagles’ winger, Tijani Babangida is dead.
The former midfielder to the then sensational Lagos Stationery Stores coincidentally shared the same name with former Nigerian military ruler, Ibrahim Babangida.
According to sportsvillagesquare, Ibrahim Babangida reportedly died in an auto-mobile accident in which his elder brother was also involved in. The older Tijani Babangida however escaped death. The older brother who was part of the gold-winning Nigerian football team at the Atlanta ‘96 Olympics is the president of the Professional Footballers’ Association of Nigeria (PFAN).
The body has since condoled with the family. In a statement credited to the General Secretary of PFAN, Emmanuel Babayaro, the Babangida family that included Tijani, his wife, son, maid and Ibrahim, were travelling on the Kaduna-Zaria highway when the fatal accident occurred.
