Ike Shorunmu, a former Super Eagles goalkeeper, on Saturday said late former Super Eagles defender Ajibade Babalade died because medical attention was late in coming his way.
Shorunmu told newsmen in Ibadan that Babalade died at the University College Hospital (UCH) gate in Ibadan on Friday after he was denied treatment by a private hospital.
According to reports, the 48 year-old Babalade died after suffering from cardiac arrest.
“He was denied treatment by the private hospital before he was referred to UCH. At the first hospital, he was rushed to in Ibadan, he was rejected by the doctors and referred to the UCH.
“But on his arrival at the UCH premises, he gave up the ghost at the gate. May his soul rest in peace, ” Shorunmu said.
The former goalkeeper said he was informed of Babalade’s death after the day’s Jumat service.
