Obiekwu, a member of the Atlanta ’96 Olympics Golden Dream Team, was seen working as a taxi driver in Enugu and this information was shared on social media.
Facebook Influencer, Okwuluora took to the platform to share his photo with the caption ;
At Abakpa Motor Park, I saw former Super Eagles Defender Kingsley Obiekwu(Shagari Udoji) loading buses and driving Sienna to Nsukka. I hugged and greeted him then cried like a man. Life can be cruel Yes. He never made it to the highest level Yes but where are his teammates. I will tell Kanu Nwankwo about this. They won Olympics together in Atlanta. Obiekwu last made headline when his younger brother died in the field of play. A NATIONAL HERO, AN IDOL TO MILLIONS, AN OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALLIST. We can help lift him again IF he is willing. That environment is not for him.
Ahmed Musa got wind of Obiekwu’s predicament and has supported him with the sum of N2 million.
