The incident happened on Friday and my father is really feeling it as Tekimbe was the one who was always around to run little errands and take care of him," Amokachi said."It is a big tragedy for me, because he was more like a brother as he has been with us for so long."But I had to get myself together and focus on helping the chief coach in his first match."It is a sacrifice I have to make for my country."Amokachi is now in Kaduna with the Super Eagles preparing for Tuesday's friendly against Zambia, but will join his family immediately after.
