Jossy lad in Life Support

The former coach of Super Falcon, died today after a protracted illness that has kept him in life support for months.

Jossy lad was taken from the private hospital where was to the emergency ward of the University College Hospital, (UCH) Ibadan some weeks back.

His first son Wale Ladipo, who accompanied his dad to the hospital, was apprehensive while narrating their ordeal to newsmen weeks ago. He disclosed then how the former Shooting Stars player and coach, who needed prompt attention, was allegedly neglected from 11:pm on Monday to 2:30am on Tuesday by UCH staff who claimed there was no trolley to wheel him inside for treatment.

“We almost lost my dad when we rushed him here and UCH people said there was no trolley so they left him outside here gasping for more than three hours.

“If my dad were conscious when he was being transferred from our family clinic, he would not have allowed himself to be taken to UCH because of an experience he told us he had during the case of Best Ogedegbe, which he claimed led to his untimely death,” Wale explained.

Jossy lad, the immediate past chairman of the 3SC board, was still on life support machine when he died.

His friends and contemporaries such as Rafiu Salami, former IICC player, Babarere, former 3SC team manager, Kayode Awobajo, Banli Akintayo, Chairman Ibadan Football Association (IFA) were all at the premises of the emergency ward praying for the survival of their beloved.
