It was gathered that the Minister of Foreign Affairs Odein Ajumogobia, SAN, said in Abuja yesterday that the expected FBI report would determine Nigeria’s response to Okafor’s death.
“It’s after the FBI report that the Federal Government can now step into the matter,” Ajumogobia told supersport.com.
Okafor, who is expected to be buried in Nigeria next month, was said to have committed suicide in his Dallas, Texas home on 7 January.
However the police said last week that they had not determined the cause of his death after the Nigerian community in the US rejected the sucide report.
The Chairman of the National Sports Commission, NSC, Taoheed Adedoja, had earlier urged the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to get to the bottom of the matter.
“This young man was a true hero of Nigerian football, and everything must be done to thoroughly investigate the circumstances of his death,” Adedoja said.
Okafor was part of the Super Eagles that won the 1994 Nations Cup in Tunisia.
