Shabana FC is mourbing the death of defender Evans Obutu Omoke.
The National Super League (NSL) side lst the defender who died on Monday evening after sustaining an injury in a friendly match.
The 33-year-old defender, who was on loan at Shabana from Posta Rangers, succumbed to a stomach injury he sustained on Friday during a friendly match between non-league sides Town Warriors and Patarion at Gesure Primary School grounds in Nyamira County.
The match was abandoned in the 40th min after the player collided with the opponent’s goalkeeper and sustained the injury.
He was rushed to Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital (KTRH) but he was not attended to since doctors are on strike. He was then referred to Nyangena hospital, a private health facility the same day where he was treated and discharged.
His condition worsened on Sunday and he was rushed to Nyangena where he was booked for an operation according to his brother Jasper Marube. He died on Monday night immediately after the operation.
