Family Of Late Super Eagles midfielder Seeks Help for Burial
The family of the Late John Ene Okon, former Super Eagles midfielder is seeking financial assistance to settle hospital and sundry bills at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital so they can bury the deceased who died March this year.
At the moment, Okon's remains is still lying at the Hospital's morgue where it was deposited when he died.
His last duty post was UniCem Rovers FC of Calabar where he was chief coach.
His daughter, Ruth Okon Ene, who spoke on the development said the family is in a fix as they are afraid that her father's remains will spend more days in the mortuary than expected before he is interred.
She lamented that her father's remains, now at the UCTH morgue had been abandoned by the state government, the club and his employers, Lafarge.
Ruth said that the hospital had notified the family that the initial one-month deposit for mortuary services had expired.
Ruth said that the hospital had normally demanded for additional fees for services even as the family is struggling to secure a casket, a grave and related funeral challenges in Calabar.
