Katsina United reject claims that dead player regained consciousness at mortuary

Katsina United firmly rejected allegations that their player, Chinedu Ozor, regained consciousness following his death during a pre-season friendly. The club clarified the tragic circumstances in a statement on their X handle. Ozor collapsed at the Muhammad Dikko Stadium and later died despite resuscitation efforts. The club stated that reports claiming a post-mortem revival were false.

The confusion arose when Ozor's family sought additional medical confirmation before burial. This request, driven by grief and hope, does not imply survival. Katsina United emphasized that the player did not regain consciousness. The club urged the public to stop spreading unverified information, respecting the family's privacy during their grief.
