Travelling during breaks isn't the best option for NPFL players - Obuh

Former Nigeria youth coach John Obuh said players in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) need orientation on the risks they face when they travel by road during breaks.

Obuh made the statement while reacting to the unfortunate death of Enugu Rangers forward Ifeanyi George on Sunday morning and the kidnapping of Enyimba midfielder Dayo Ojo later on the same day.

Football activities in Nigeria, including the NPFL, were suspended last Wednesday as the country continues to work in containing the spread of the coronavirus pandemic and thus, granted the players permission to leave their clubs.
