Family of Former Super Eagles Midfielder John Ene Okon who died recently Seeks Help for his Burial

The family of the Late John Ene Okon, former Super Eagles midfielder who was born march 15 1969 and died March 15 2015, is seeking financial assistance to settle the hospital and sundry bills at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital so they can have him buried.

John Ene Okon’s remains is still lying at the Hospital’s morgue where it was deposited when he died.

His daughter, Ruth Okon Ene, who spoke on the development said the family is in a fix as they are afraid that her father’s remains will spend more days in the mortuary than expected.

She lamented that her father’s remains had been abandoned by the state government, the club and his employers. Ruth said that the hospital had notified the family that the initial one-month deposit for mortuary services had expired.

Ruth said that the hospital had normally demanded for additional fees for services even as the family is struggling to secure a casket, a grave and related funeral challenges in Calabar.
