Nigerian keeper Akpeyi feared Kaizer Chiefs fans could turn against him

Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi has revealed he feared for his life during the xenophobic attacks which rocked South Africa recently.

Akpeyi has been criticised for being error-prone since arriving at Naturena from Chippa United in January this year.

However, he justified his inclusion in Ernst Middendorp's team this season and in his last game, he produced a man of the match performance against Baroka despite coming on as a first-half substitute.
