The 26-year-old died in a car accident on his way home following the suspension of the Nigeria Professional Football League owing to the Covid-19 outbreak.

His friend and Flying Antelopes teammate Emmanuel Ogbu also passed away in the unfortunate incident.

George was buried at Atan cemetery, Yaba in Lagos, and Goal gathered that no fewer than 10 people were allowed owing to coronavirus fears.
