NFF mourns death of Ruth David’s younger sister Queen

The Nigeria Football Federation has announced the death of Queen David, the younger sister of its Director of Competitions, Ms Ruth David.

NFF Acting General Secretary Dr Emmanuel Ikpeme confirmed the news on Tuesday morning and expressed the organisation’s sympathy to Ms David and her family.

Ms David returned to Nigeria on Monday night after spending time in Poland with the U20 Women National Team, the Falconets, during their campaign at the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup.

“It is a sorrowful situation. Ms Ruth David returned to the country only on Monday night from Poland, where she had been with the U20 Women National Team, Falconets, throughout their credible campaign at the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup, only to be confronted with this piece of sad news,” Dr Ikpeme said.

“The NFF mourns with Ms David at this period and we pray that God will grant her and the entire family the fortitude to bear the big loss, while also praying that God will grant the deceased eternal rest.”
