Lato died on Sunday evening at the Ibrahim Sanni Abacha Hospital in Kaduna, one day after he was admitted.
Lato will always be remembered by Kaduna United faithful as he was part
of the technical crew that won the 2010 Federation Cup, beating Enyimba
3-2.
Confirming the tragic news to Supersport.com on Sunday night, the
club's captain, Emmanuel Ambrose revealed that the demise of the
deceased came as a great shock.
“I can confirm to you that we have lost our coach (Lato) and all the
players can't believe that he's dead, considering the level of malaria
he had.
“He only complained of malaria in the morning, and the next thing we
would hear later in the evening was that our coach is dead just like
that.
“This is a great tragedy for our team, and I pray that God should give
his family the fortitude to bear the loss,” Ambrose told Supersport.com
tearfully.
Meanwhile, players of Kaduna United were still battling with their 0-1
loss to Crown FC yesterday before they were hit with the demise of their
gaffer.
