In a statement by Ademola Olajire, spokesperson for the NFF, Ka’oje was buried on Tuesday 19th January in Abuja.
NFF General Secretary, Dr Mohammed Sanusi, in the statement described the late Ka’oje as “a dignified and unassuming public servant who showed great passion and interest in the development and improvement of Nigeria sports.”
